-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A fresh invigorating greeting goes a long way
in creating heart to heart bonds between people!
By the sincere way in which we behave and conduct ourselves
let us sink deep roots of trust (into society)!
Let us try to give our complete attention and care
to each person we interact with.

--- DAILY GOSHO --
"What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 852)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The humanism upheld by the SGI is rooted in the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest Nichiren (1222-82), who wrote: 'The Law does not spread by itself: because people propagate it, both people and the Law are respectworthy.' Thus, while we seek 'to rely on the Law, not on the person,' it is through the character and example of people that the Law is taught and spreads. In Buddhism, the Law (Dharma) is not something static. It is people, practising and embodying it in their lives, who enable it to vigorously pulsate in reality.'
