-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we sincerely chant daimoku 
for the happiness of others,
boundless wisdom springs forth.
While making every effort to 
understand each person's situation 
with honest concern,
let's offer warm words of encouragement 
to every corner of our surroundings!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(If at such a time a Buddha should appear in the world and expound the Buddhist teachings as a medicine for the heavenly beings, gods, and humans,) such teachings will be like oil added to a lamp or a staff presented to an elderly person." 

(On Reprimanding Hachiman 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 920)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" A simple greeting like 'hello' said with a smile can communicate your heart to others. 

"Friendship is a precious treasure and a powerful driving force for peace.

"If we have friends who share our joys, our happiness will be multiplied. If we have friends who support and encourage us, we won't be defeated by even the most painful or difficult challenges. I hope you'll be brave and cheerfully greet others and also be a good friend.

"Please remember that your heartfelt efforts to widen your circle of friendship will lead to a brighter future for the world."
