-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is most important when we try to
develop good relations with others
is to act with sincerity, to use our wisdom and to be courageous.
Let's always try to develop and improve our characters
so much so that everyone is impressed by what we do
and quite naturally understands and supports what we are trying to achieve.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 12th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is not actions alone, but the spirit behind them that matters.

"The direct path to accumulating great benefit and immeasurable good fortune is to take action with a happy willingness to do whatever we can for kosen-rufu and have a sense of appreciation for being able to do so."
