Let's be sure to give a real heartfelt greeting
when we meet people in the neighbourhood
or when we meet our friends!
Sincere actions and behaviour is what
deepens the bonds of trust between people.
Let's make a brand new start

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Buddhism is the Buddhism of sowing. Forming even the smallest connection with Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ensures that the seed of Buddhahood will endure and eventually sprout. That is why those who practise and propagate the Mystic Law, helping people form a precious connection with Buddhism, will enjoy immeasurable good fortune and benefit.

"Nichiren Buddhism is the Buddhism of sowing. Forming even the smallest connection with Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ensures that the seed of Buddhahood will endure and eventually sprout. That is why those who practise and propagate the Mystic Law, helping people form a precious connection with Buddhism, will enjoy immeasurable good fortune and benefit.
"Enabling someone to form a connection with even a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra, with the Mystic Law, plants the seed for attaining Buddhahood in that person's life, a seed that will live on eternally.
"Seeking to share with others even a little about Buddhism, forging ties of friendship with them, sowing the seeds of Buddhahood in their lives by letting them hear the teachings, even if they don't start practising right away—all such efforts constitute propagating the Law.
"Please be assured that when you tell people about Buddhism, you receive the same boundless benefit whether they decide to embrace faith or not." (Speech, December 8th, 1991)
