--TO MY FRIENDS--
The Daishonin encourages us,
"(Arouse deep faith, and)
diligently polish your mirror day
and night."*
Everything begins with chanting.
With exhilarating gongyo
Everything begins with chanting.
With exhilarating gongyo
and daimoku,
let's advance along the great path
let's advance along the great path
to self improvement and
cultivating ourselves!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Peace is not something to be left to others in distant places.. It is something we create day-to-day in our efforts to cultivate care and consideration for others, forging bonds of friendship and trust in our respective communities through our own actions and example.
"As we enhance our respect for the sanctity of life and human dignity through our daily behaviour and study efforts at dialogue, the foundation for a culture of peace will deepen and strengthen, allowing a new global civilisation to blossom. With women leading the way, when each and every person is aware and committed, we will be able to prevent society from relapsing into the culture of war, and foster and nurture energy towards the creation of a century of peace."
