"We must never take the hard work of our fellow members for granted. Nothing is worse than failing to offer sincere words of gratitude and appreciation where they are due.
"Let's also always be sure to express our deepest gratitude to those who offer their homes for Soka Gakkai activities.
"…Courtesies matter, even between close friends, as a well-known Japanese saying goes. Therefore, when we use members' homes, let's always show care and consideration in every way possible, clean up after the meeting, and sincerely thank the hosts for allowing us to use their homes.
"Buddhism finds expression not only in conspicuous activities, but also in small courtesies and gestures such as these. As Nichiren Daishonin says: 'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 1000)."
SGI Newsletter No. 9606, Showing Appreciation for Those Who Work Hard Behind the Scenes, from the April 24, 2017, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translation released 8th May, 2017
