"The Daishonin writes: 'All the people of Kamakura will say in your praise that Nakatsukasa Saburo Saemon-no-jo [Shijo Kingo] is diligent in the service of his Lord, in the service of Buddhism and in his concern for other people" (WND–1, 851).

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'All the people of Kamakura will say in your praise that Nakatsukasa Saburo Saemon-no-jo [Shijo Kingo] is diligent in the service of his Lord, in the service of Buddhism and in his concern for other people" (WND–1, 851).
"'In the service of one's Lord,' in modern terms, means building a solid relationship of trust with one's boss or employer. It means becoming an outstanding employee at our workplace or excelling in our profession. It also refers to our behaviour as members of society.
"'In the service of Buddhism' means to practice steadfastly, always basing ourselves on faith in the Mystic Law.
"'In concern for other people' means caring qualities, like a sincere interest in others, that earn the respect and trust of those around us as we live our lives in society.
"These three phrases encapsulate the most important spheres for demonstrating 'faith equals daily life' and 'Buddhism is manifested in society.'"
