-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The sun of happiness exists within our very own hearts.
Especially in trying times,
let's earnestly chant daimoku to be able to rise to the challenges we face!
Then a way to resolve whatever it is that is troubling us will definitely open up.

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"It is extremely difficult to maintain faith completely alone, and we may tend to succumb to weakness, laziness, and timidity.[1]
"It is important to forge human relationships based on warm care and friendship. Our ties with others are the lifeline of worldwide kosen-rufu."
