-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The first step to developing trust with others
is to give them a refreshing greeting.
The key is to take the initiative in talking to them
in a cheerful and friendly voice.
Let's all advance with the vigour of the rising sun!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"

(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fashioned by Nichigen-nyo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 2, page 811)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 28th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"When we pray deeply based on a sense of responsibility for kosen-rufu, infinite wisdom flows forth. Constructive opinions that are made with members' welfare in mind are important.

"Please take care of your health, take time to restore your energy, and, while warmly supporting those around you, build a great citadel of Soka that will stand firm and invincible in the face of any storm.
