-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make a point of noticing, acknowledging
and praising the efforts of those who,
unnoticed by most others and away from the limelight,
strive so hard behind the scenes.
I hope that as leaders, you will go out of your way,
exerting yourselves as much as possible
strive so hard behind the scenes.
I hope that as leaders, you will go out of your way,
exerting yourselves as much as possible
to encouraging them,
and to the extent that they are moved
and to the extent that they are moved
by the efforts you make
and the pains you have taken
and the pains you have taken
to recognise them.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The second characteristic identified by the Daishonin is 'remaining free of all false alliances' (cf. WND-2, 460). This means not being a false friend but embodying sincerity and integrity in all our actions and behaviour. It is faithfully following the path of our beliefs and convictions.
"Looking on at evil in silence is an expression of what the Daishonin means by 'false alliances.' That is why the Daishonin teaches his followers to denounce evil acts or teachings that go against the correct teaching of Buddhism."
