-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A correct rhythm of life is born of a sound and correct philosophy.
Let's try to read the gosho each day
even if it's only a single excerpt or line!
Let's take firm steps forwards, one at a time!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Live so that all the people of Kamakura will say in your praise that Nakatsukasa Saburo Saemon-no-jo is diligent in the service of his lord, in the service of Buddhism, and in his concern for other
people."

(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Japanese scientist Hideki Yukawa (1907–81), one of the signatories of the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, said: 'It is all the more imperative that the conscience and common sense of humanity, which is to be found not in just a select few but in the hearts of the vast majority of people, become the driving force for ushering in a new post-nuclear age.'[1]

"Our daily Soka Gakkai activities may at times seem unglamorous and mundane. However, our sincere efforts to encourage our friends and positively impact our communities are an immeasurable source of hope and joy that will shine vibrantly throughout society."
