-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is said that 'one is the mother of ten thousand.'
Let's embrace the person right in front of us
with kindness, warmth and sincerity.
Let's cherish every single opportunity to develop
a good relationship with others
so that we can extend a chain of encouragement
among the people around us.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions."

(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 997) Selection source: President Ikeda's encouragement, Seikyo Shimbun, July 7th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter how much we talk about the correct teaching and doctrines of Nichiren Buddhism, if we slander and malign each other, in our hearts we are betraying the spirit of the Daishonin. That's a grave offense. Please do not forget this point.

"Humans are emotional beings. And there will invariably be times when we have to engage in activities with someone we may not like or get along with. At such times, you should chant earnestly to be able to unite, get along with, and respect that person. In the process, you will be able to transform your own life condition. And when you change, you'll be able to unite with anyone.

"The important thing is to get along. That's the key to friendship and fellow feeling. That's where you'll find the joy of faith and victory in life."
