-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A refreshing greeting 
rejuvenates everyone's spirits.
Brimming with fresh 
youthful life force,
let's be the one who initiates 
the type of conversation
that makes people smile at work, 
in our local community,
and wherever we might be!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Though he himself is like the wisteria vine, because he clings to the pine that is the Lotus Sutra, he is able to ascend the mountain of perfect enlightenment. Because he has the wings of the single vehicle [the Mystic Law] to rely upon, he can soar into the sky of tranquil light.'

From 'On Offerings for Deceased Ancestors' (WND–1, 821).

"No one can escape the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness and death.

"How wonderful it is to make this journey through life in rhythm with the Mystic Law and united in spirit with Nichiren Daishonin! We can transform all hardships and attain a state of eternity, happiness, true self and purity without fail. Our path is one of complete assurance and hope.

"With unwavering faith, we can guide our families, loved ones and friends so that they, too, can 'ascend the mountain of perfect enlightenment' and 'soar into the sky of Tranquil Light" (WND-1, 821). Together, let's lead lives filled with boundless benefit!"

Spreading The Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [54] Leading Lives Filled with Boundless Benefit, translated from the September 21st, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December, 2021
