Try constantly to become a person 
who always offers warm kind words 
with a smile!
Faith manifests itself when we work

as rich and open-minded people.
Together, let's take one step forwards

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'I have been brooding alone upon this matter [the suffering of the people due to the three calamities and seven disasters], indignant in my heart, but now that you have come, we can lament together. Let us discuss the question at length.'

- From 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land" (WND – 1, 7).

"Nichiren Daishonin's writings pulse vibrantly with the spirit of dialogue.

"Let's reach out and talk with others—to find a way to solve people's suffering and create a better society. Our efforts to realise the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' are bringing the spirit of dialogue to flower in the 21st-century.

"Callous indifference and irresponsible words only spread anxiety. Through sincere and courageous dialogue, let us continue to help others form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism as a cause for their happiness and build a growing network of hope and trust."

Advancing with the Gosho (2), [80] Transforming the Age through Dialogue, translated from 15th July, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released September 2019.
