-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always treasure our local community!
What promotes strong bonds of friendship
with the neighbours is that refreshing
energetic greeting.
With an invigorating cheerful behaviour,
let's send a fresh hope-filled breeze

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If you practice Nichiren Buddhism, you are bound to experience opposition from those around you. Obstacles will no doubt arise. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If they [devilish functions] did not [arise], there would be no way of knowing that this is the correct teaching' (WND-1, 501). Therefore, it requires courage to continue practising Nichiren Buddhism. Are you prepared for that?"
