-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu entails meeting people.
Let's always be polite and act with
the utmost sincerity and respect,
no matter who we might meet or talk to,
and use every opportunity we get
to help people form a connection
with Buddhism!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakīrti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills -
WND. Vol. 1, page 937)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism enables us to concretely demonstrate true human dignity in our own lives and recognise the dignity of others, making both a reality in daily life. It teaches the supreme practice of affirming the human dignity of both oneself and others.
"The Soka Gakkai is a realm in which members strive to live by this fundamental spirit of Buddhism and fully respect one another. It is an organisation dedicated to promoting a way of life that respects the dignity of all people. It is a realm committed to fostering individuals of genuine humanity based on such efforts."
From The Wisdom For Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World peace, Chapter 28: Peace, Culture and education: The Flowering of a New Humanism. 28.6 Respecting the Dignity of All People, from the October 2017 edition of Daibyaku Renge, translation released October 2018
