-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's through our honest care
and concern for our friends,
that we help them
that we help them
to have peace of mind
and a sense of security.
By offering heartfelt words
By offering heartfelt words
to those who are important to us,
let's deepen the warmth
let's deepen the warmth
of our ties with them!

"A bird's egg contains nothing but liquid, yet by itself this develops into a beak, two eyes, and all the other parts, and the bird soars into the sky. We, too, are the eggs of ignorance, which are pitiful things, but when nurtured by the chanting of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is like the warmth of the mother bird, we develop the beak of the thirty-two features and the feathers of the eighty characteristics and are free to soar into the sky of the true aspect of all phenomena and the reality of all things."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There is no impasse we cannot breakthrough with faith in the Mystic Law. There is no need to give up or be discouraged in the face of difficulty. Instead, serenely laugh off your troubles! Cause the invincible spirit of Soka to blaze up and burn bright. Rouse the great power of faith and practice, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and taking action. It is by challenging ourselves in our human revolution in this way that we 'cast off the transient and reveal the true' in our own lives."
