-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Giving guidance or encouragement in faith
basically means to teach someone about the greatness of the Gohonzon.
Based on our own experiences in faith,
let's enthusiastically share the great confidence
and conviction we have (in the power of this practice.)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You also are a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra, and your faith is like the waxing moon or the rising tide. Be deeply convinced, then, that your illness cannot possibly persist, and that your life cannot fail to be extended! Take care of yourself, and do not burden your mind with grief."
(The Bow and Arrow - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 656)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"People today seem more isolated and disconnected and human ties are increasingly growing weaker.
"Human beings need each other to survive. No matter how tough one tries to act in being all alone, a lonely life is sad and unhappy. It doesn't bring a true sense of happiness. If the number of isolated youth increases, society, too, will invariably face many problems. Now, more than ever, a philosophy that unites people and dialogue that forges heart-to-heart connections are essential for leading truly rich and fulfilling lives."
