---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Respect for others is the most beautiful light of humanity.
"Nichiren Daishonin notes that when we bow to a mirror, the image bows back to us (cf. OTT, 165).
"When we respect and value our friends, we will also be respected and valued. There may be people who you feel are difficult to get along with. The key to tearing down the invisible wall between you and such people is the spirit of respect.
"Respect is not some rare quality. It is just recognising the good things about our friends. It is discovering their admirable points that perhaps we lack."
