Today is a Japanese national press holiday to let all those involved in producing and delivering a newspaper have a short rest, therefore there is no "To My Friends" today but the rest of the service continues on….

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It was in the midst of the Cold War. However, with a far-reaching vision of transforming the karma of all humankind, I reached out to people grappling with suffering and distress in the United States, Canada and Brazil. Many of those I met were struggling with loneliness and despair or dealing with setbacks that made it hard for them to earn a living.

"… we spoke of how prayer in Nichiren Buddhism means chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo infused with a vow. In other words, making a vow to carry out our own human revolution and to strive for kosen-rufu in the places to which we are connected by deep karmic ties and chanting to be able to do our best towards those ends. We summon forth wisdom through the power of faith, apply creativity and effort to challenges and show actual proof of victory. And by unflaggingly exercising the power of practice, we can break through resignation and apathy, and even transform karma into mission."
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Together on the Eternal Journey of Mentor and Disciple, from 22nd September, 2020 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2020.
