-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Understanding others' problems and pain
and giving them comfort
while chanting daimoku with them 
to overcome their situations —
this is fundamental 
when encouraging someone.
Brimming with vibrant life force,
let's practice the Buddhist compassion 
of removing suffering and giving joy.*

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi[which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."

(Encouraging Devotion chapter 
- OTT, page 111)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Elevating the life state of disciples to the same level of the Buddha—this is the fundamental aim of Buddhism and the most important theme of the Lotus Sutra. It is none other than the path of mentor and disciple, the oneness of mentor and disciple.

"Precisely because it is grounded in the spirit of mentor and disciple, Nichiren Buddhism is a humanistic teaching, one in which ordinary people take the lead."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [40] For Our Wonderful New Members—Part 1 [of 5,] The Wish to help All People to Become Buddhas, from the August 2018 issue of the Daibyaku Renge, translation released May 2019.
