-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make every possible effort to visit
those members who are unable to attend
SGI meetings for various reasons and
warmly encourage them.
Listening to what they have to say about their problems
is itself a noble compassionate action (as a Buddhist).
Let's advance, together with them,
even if it is just one step!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death."

"Our dear friend [Nobel Peace Prize laureate] Betty Williams, who rallied the strength of a broad coalition of women to help bring an end to the centuries-old conflict in Northern Ireland, declared: 'Go out and look for one individual. One is a huge number. If you can help one individual, one child, you will then help ten. Because in the circle of that one person, there will be ten others that that one will educate.' [1]"
