-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be sure to verbally express our appreciation

to our family members,

especially if they are not practising this Buddhism!

Our feelings and thoughts are transmitted

through what we say.
It's through our considerate, caring actions

for each of our family members
that we build a happy and harmonious family!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way' (WND-2, 1060). When we are concerned for the welfare of others and extend a helping hand, we are not only acting to benefit them but also creating good fortune for ourselves, he tells us."

The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, Realising Happiness for Both Oneself and others, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
