* Yes, in yesterday's Daily Encouragement "chance" should have read "chant" ... the automatic spell check got the better of us again!...

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Profound respect for the people"* is
the most valuable
"behaviour as a human being."*
Based on the unshakable belief in
both our own and others' inherent Buddha nature,
the SGI's movement of promoting dialogue
is the surest force towards building
a peaceful ideal society!
* "What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."
("The Three Kinds of Treasure", WND-I page 852)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A life dedicated to realising the vow of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth is a drama of human revolution that is incomparably noble, empowering, and positive. It does not seek salvation from some external power or depend on someone else for happiness. Embodying the Mystic Law, we unite with our mentor to make a vow, chant, take action, and accomplish one great goal after another. We strive to build a realm of true peace and happiness in the place where we have voluntarily chosen to appear and fulfil our mission."
30th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders Meeting, message, Striving with Our Eternal Vow to Transform the Destiny of Humankind, January 8th, 2018 Seikyo Shinbun, translation released March 2018
