-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us carefully take care of our new members.
Using every possible opportunity to chant
and participate in activities together is the very basis
of nurturing and helping them to grow in faith.
Expending all our energy and focussing on each member
let us send out a light of hope and encouragement to all of our members.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
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 ----
" `do not know how to thank you [Nanjo Tokimitsu] for the sincerity you have shown in sending these articles [of offering]. In the end, it must be [a reflection of] the depth of [your late father] Nanjo's faith in the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by the statement that a minister proclaims his ruler's sincerity, while a son proclaims his father's sincerity. The late Nanjo is probably delighted.`
- "The Story of Ohashi no Taro" (cf. WND-1, 675).
"Nichiren Daishonin sincerely praised the fostering of successors in the family, the solid transmission of faith from parent to child. The continuation of a deep commitment to kosen-rufu by the next generation will not only become a firm foundation for that whole family's enduring prosperity, but also serve as a bright source of hope for the community in which they live.
"I hope that each Soka family will create their own wonderful history of kosen-rufu. Please remember that truly precious "treasures of the heart"—such as the courageous spirit to never be defeated by adversity and a warm spirit of care and concern for others—are imparted to children through the parents' example."
