-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now's the time to go visit
our fellow members
one by one, one after another,
offering them words
of encouragement and joy!
When we get the chance
to meet and talk face to face,
both they and ourselves
will surely feel invigorated and energised!
With true enthusiasm,
let's put our thoughts into dynamic action!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda pondered how best to proceed in his efforts. He had no meeting places, no money, nothing. Then, it came to him--he would start with one-to-one dialogue. That was the answer, he decided.
"This was a manifestation of his wisdom and compassion.
"He was determined to listen intently to those who were suffering and teach them the Mystic Law to help them become happy. The focus, he realised, must be not on large groups of people but on the individual."
