-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Speed is of the essence.
Whatever the situation, 
it's vital to proactively 
make that first move.
For the sake of 
our friend's happiness and victory,
let's take the appropriate actions 
with earnestness and sensitivity!
That's where joy is born.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The good fortune one receives from simply chanting the daimoku is beyond measure."

(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 143)
Selection Source: "Suntetsu,"

Sunday, December 12th, 2021
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Empty, flippant words are meaningless. Nothing is more eloquent than such human qualities as courage and conviction exuding from a person's whole being, a sincere voice, a bright smile and an act of immense kindness. Our seniors in faith are perfect examples of this.

"Let's each share the hope-filled philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism with others in our own unique way in the place where we are! With the passionate, indomitable spirit exemplified by the Daishonin when he says 'Still I am not discouraged' (WND–1, 748), let us further expand our efforts in dialogue!"

Our Brilliant Revolution, Building Peace through Dialogue, translated from the August 24th, 2021, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2021.
