-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Let's always be looking for

the strengths in others,

and learn from them!

The first step

towards building good friendships

lies in our own attitude

to doing as such.

With a genuinely open mind,

let's cultivate good relations

with as many people as we can.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

"At the Ceremony in the Air, when the Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions gathered together, the two Buddhas, Shakyamuni and Many Treasures, nodded in agreement. What they decided on was nothing other than the perpetuation of the Law throughout the Latter Day."

("The True Aspect of All Phenomena",

WND - Vol. 1, page 385)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"The third requirement is uniting in the spirit of 'many in body, one in mind.' Nichiren Daishonin writes: '[Chanting] Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind . . . is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death' (WND-1, 217). The heritage of faith flows on vibrantly when members unite in purpose and demonstrate their full capacities for the sake of kosen-rufu."

SGI Newsletter No. 9677, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 30: Chap. 1 Great Mountain 56, translation released 2nd Aug. 2017.
