-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every one-to-one conversation we have with people
is a noble path that leads directly towards a more peaceful world!
Let us spend our energies to talk about and share our wonderful philosophy of Buddhism,
which is based on a deep respect for the sanctity of all life,
sincerely and passionately with this friend and with that friend!

"Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as 'Shijo Kingo, Shijo Kingo of the Lotus school!'"
(Earthly Desires Are Enlightenment - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 319)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In his propagation efforts, the Daishonin did not just teach the Mystic Law through words or theory, but actively demonstrated its power through the example of his own conduct and efforts as one who believes in and practices the Mystic Law. The Daishonin's Buddhism does not exist apart from his real-life struggles for kosen-rufu. Consequently, it is important for us to practice with the same spirit as the Daishonin, if we are to understand the essence of his teachings."
