A warm, invigorating greeting

Let's strengthen our bonds of friendship and trust with those around us
by being the ones to initiate pleasant and refreshing interactions.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I, Nichiren, have inscribed my life in sumi ink, so believe in the Gohonzon with your whole heart. The Buddha's will is the Lotus Sutra, but the soul of Nichiren is nothing other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 24th, 2012

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The great distances these persons traveled are indicative of their devotion' (WND-2, 1030). Let us always warmly greet and commend those who have travelled long distances out of their noble seeking spirit towards Buddhism, 'showing them the same respect we would a Buddha' (cf. LSOC28, 365)."
