-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Come, let's boldly take on the challenge of talking with others
and developing new friendships!
What is more important than anything else is to have compassion
and to boldly and resolutely chant for the happiness of our friends.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Because the Lotus Sutra is difficult to believe, the Buddha assumes
various forms, such as that of one's child, parent, or wife, to enable
one to take faith in it."

(Reply to the Lay Priest of Ko - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page
491) Selection source: The World of Encouragement of Nichiren Daishonin,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Please take action with a sense of personal responsibility for kosen-rufu rather than leaving it up to others. The SGI is a place for you to train yourself to do this. Now is the time for you to work really hard. The greater the efforts you make, the more you will be able to forge and polish your life. You will definitely be able to win in the end.

"I also took on all challenges myself, pondering, agonising, and praying deeply about how best to move forwards. I had no time to complain."
