Let's never forget to encourage those members
who could not make it to the meeting!
Each and every member is a precious individual
who must always be taken good care of.
Through sincere and honest conversation,
let's widely expand the solidarity of our movement for kosen-rufu.

"Therefore a person who upholds the Lotus Sutra is repaying the debt of gratitude owed to father and mother. Even if one does not feel in one's own heart that one can do so, one can repay it through the power of this sutra."
(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 638)

"Nichiren Daishonin writes that if we light a lantern for another, it will brighten our own way (cf. WND-2, 1060).
"According to the latest findings of brain science, we human beings possess so-called mirror neurons, which enable us to feel empathy when we observe emotion in others. In a disaster, inner strength is awakened and hope is ignited in the hearts of both the victims and the volunteers; the former because they feel that there is someone who cares about them, and the latter because they feel that they are able to make a difference in another's life. Volunteering is a noble action that raises the spirits of both the volunteer and those receiving support—a form of proof that doing good for others also does good for ourselves."
