Our patient and consistent efforts
to communicate with others
and spread the philosophy

of the dignity of life,
is the surest way to create peace.
Let's start and continue to have
Let's start and continue to have
hope-filled conversations,
wherever we are,
that will help turn conflict
that will help turn conflict
into solidarity.

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A district women's leader asked the meaning of the passage 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212) as it applies to our daily lives. I responded to this earnest question: 'Whatever problems you may face, if you continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of "regarding both suffering and joy as facts of life" (cf.WND–1, 681), joy will well forth within you. When you are filled with joy, you will ignite the same joy in all those who see you. Not only will you yourself savour a joyous life state and daily existence but you will help others do the same. This is surely "the greatest of all joys," don't you think?'"
