-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure to express our sincere appreciation
to those members and family members who are
so kind to offer their homes for our meetings for kosen-rufu.
By finishing all meetings as planned, not talking too loud outside, etc.,
let's always remember to pay careful attention to even small matters
and be as sensible and considerate as possible to their neighbours.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"

(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 851)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 30th, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Not being part of an organisation might seem more free and enjoyable, but true growth in faith is nurtured through the process of fellow members, "good friends" in the realm of Buddhist practice, encouraging and inspiring one another, and spurring each other on."

SGI Newsletter No. 8829, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 26: Chap. 2, Banner of the Law 55, translated 22nd Aug., 2013
