-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Regard your service to your lord
as the practice of the Lotus Sutra."*
Tough times in our workplace offer us a great opportunity
to sow seeds of trust.
Let's win through our sincere attitude and conscientious efforts!

Gosho: Reply to a Believer - WND Vol.1, page 905, "Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by 'No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality.'"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 937)
