-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Having good friends helps us to
enrich our lives and doubles our joy.
Let's always try to support and encourage each other
and advance at the same time together towards attaining
our own happiness and others'!

"It is the heart that is important."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin states: 'One becomes aware of the Buddha vehicle [the Mystic Law] within oneself and enters the palace of oneself [one's Buddhahood]. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is what is meant by entering the palace of oneself' (OTT, 209). The palace of happiness is not found in some distant place; it resides within our own life. Our life itself is that palace.
"No matter how painful or difficult our circumstances, when we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our lives fuse with the Mystic Law, and the strength to move forwards and the courage to keep on living surge forth powerfully within us."
SGI Newsletter No. 9088, Engaging in Joyful Dialogues with Bright Hope and Confidence, from the October 2014 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 18th Sep., 2014
