Let's always try to give a really warm and heartfelt welcome to
everyone who comes to a meeting just like the Daishonin says,
"showing them the same respect we would a Buddha."*
It's from such sincere and caring actions

— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always try to give a really warm and heartfelt welcome to
everyone who comes to a meeting just like the Daishonin says,
"showing them the same respect we would a Buddha."*
It's from such sincere and caring actions
that waves of joy and happiness are created.
"You should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha." - The Lotus Sutra, "Encouragement of the Bodhisattva Universal Worthy" chapter

"The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the 'Never Disparaging' chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."
(The Three Kinds of Treasure - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 852)

"The key is always advancing with the same spirit as our mentor. If we do that, we can bring forth infinite power.
"I engaged in every struggle with the same spirit as my mentor [second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda]. That's why limitless strength welled forth from within me. By challenging ourselves with the same commitment as our mentor, we can make the impossible possible.
"My friends, speak out with lionlike courage again today! Advance with bright hope, accummulating boundless good fortune!
