-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho states:
"Words echo the thoughts of the mind
and find expression through the voice."
As we celebrate the 'week of encouragement,'
let us use heartfelt words to reach out to others,
imparting a feeling of reassurance,
and at the same time inspiring them with hope!

Let us also strive with a joyful and intrepid spirit, chanting powerful daimoku for the happiness of ourselves and others, as we triumphantly call forth an unending succession of capable Boddhisattvas of the Earth!"
