-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is it that we can we do for our friends,
who are going through difficult times,
to light a flame of hope?
Let's earnestly chant daimoku for them!
Let's do our very best to be
the most sincere and warmhearted leaders we can
who can empathise
with each and every person's pains and sufferings!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You should by all means perform as much good as you possibly can for the sake of your deceased husband. The words of a wise man of old also teach that 'you should base your mind on the ninth consciousness, and carry out your practice in the six consciousness.' How reasonable it is, too!"
("Hell is the Land of Tranquil Light," WND-1 page 458)
