-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A wonderful encounter with someone
often helps us to break out of our shells
and to cultivate progress in each other's lives.
Taking every opportunity to meet someone
as a once-in-a-lifetime chance,
let's nurture as many fresh positive connections
as we possibly can!

-- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A bird's egg contains nothing but liquid, yet by itself this develops into a beak, two eyes, and all the other parts, and the bird soars into the sky. We, too, are the eggs of ignorance, which are pitiful things, but when nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird, we develop the beak of the thirty-two features and the feathers of the eighty characteristics and are free to soar into the sky of the true aspect of all phenomena and the reality of all things. ."

(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 1030) Selection source: SGI President's guidance, Seikyo Shimbun, October 20th, 2013
