-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we get into difficulty 
or face a dilemma,
let's not take it all on by ourselves,
instead let's talk it over 
with someone close to us.
By having someone 
who'll kindly listen to us,
we're able to see 
the next step forwards.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In reference to the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'These great bodhisattvas [who emerged from the earth] are particularly suited to bring benefit to people in the Latter Day of the Law, like fish who are at home in the water or birds that move freely through the sky' (WND–2, 551).

"The Bodhisattvas of the Earth voluntarily appear in the corrupt age of the Latter Day of the Law, based on their vow. They are committed to overcoming any obstacle, no matter the circumstances, opening the way for kosen-rufu and leading all people to happiness and the world to peace.

"Demonstrating their true strengths as the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, the mentors and disciples of Soka have taken on daunting challenges and steadfastly created value."

From Constructing the New Era, Proudly Advancing on the Great Path to Victory,  October 5th, 2020 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2020.
