At the heart of human diplomacy
lie the virtues of sincerity, wisdom and courage.
Let's cultivate and expand our bonds of trust with others
in the place where we are, 
the place of our own personal mission!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It goes without saying, therefore, that persons who study the teachings of Buddhism must also [observe the ideal of filial piety and] understand and repay their obligations. The disciples of the Buddha must without fail understand the four debts of gratitude and know how to repay them."

(The Opening of the Eyes 
- WND, Vol.1, page 228)

Seikyo Shinbun, Feb. 10th, 2016

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Even a stranger, if you open up your heart to him, may be willing to lay down his life for you' (WND-1, 444).

"When friendship and trust grow between individuals, they become a mighty river of friendly exchange, producing an unstoppable current for peace. New friendships create new history."
