-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What links a child to a parent 
is the love and affection that is given
along with consideration and understanding.
By carefully respecting 
each child's character and personality,
let's build a happy and harmonious family
where our children can feel 
a sense of comfort and ease.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Kyō'ō's misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"True compassion is manifested as care and concern for others; as patience to persevere in helping others, believing that they will definitely change for the better; and as courage to overcome the fear that others may react negatively.

"Buddhist dialogue is an act of compassion expressing supreme respect for the other person. When we reach out in Buddhist dialogue in accord with the compassionate vow of the Buddha, we polish our lives and grow, too. It is the ultimate form of Buddhist practice for both ourselves and others. It cannot fail to fill us with vibrant joy. The more we engage in dialogue with people—all of whom possess different states of life—the more we expand our own state of life and strengthen our compassionate spirit."

SGI Newsletter No. 9710, The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [22] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 2, "The Buddha Mind Is a Mind of Great Pity and Compassion," from the February 2017 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 20th Sep. 2017
