-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every new chance to meet others
is a new door for our growth.
Having the enthusiasm to learn
from others enriches our own life.
Let's work on building
genuine caring friendships!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for peo- ple signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behavior as a human being.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Whatever happens, let us continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and taking action for the sake of the Law, the happiness of others, the betterment of society and the realisation of the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land." When we do so, we will obtain a life state of genuine happiness brimming with the 'boundless joy of the Law.'
"Together let us lead vibrant lives of unsurpassed purpose, fulfilment and great good fortune."
Constructing the New Era, Imparting Hope and Inspiration To All, from 13th April, 2019 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper. Translation released June 2019.
