-- TO MY FRIENDS --
An open heart is the key 
to conversation.
Let's try to be the one who 
initiates a conversation 
and who also listens well 
to what others have to say!
Empathy and good rapport 
are the driving force 
to us advancing anew.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

(On Prayer - WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin teaches us that when we are unexpectedly confronted by the suffering of sickness, we should not regard it with abhorrence. Rather, we should view it as an integral part of the precious experience of being alive, and as an indispensable step in our journey to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime and to enjoy eternal happiness. By doing so, we will recognise becoming ill as a 'Crucial moment' for rousing stronger faith than ever. With this spirit, we can definitely overcome the trials of illness and gain a deeper appreciation of life while achieving enormous personal growth."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [53] Towards a Century of Health: The Wisdom for Leading a Long Life of Good Fortune and Benefit—Part 1 [of 4]. "Good Medicine" for the Ills of Humankind, from the September 2019 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study magazine, translation released August 2020
