The Gosho says:
"Even a feeble person will not stumble
if those supporting them are strong."*
Good friends in Buddhism are our true treasures in life!

"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."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life
