-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The source of spreading 
happiness and fortune
is found right where we're living!
Cherishing our neighbours, 
taking care of our local communities,
let's expand trust and friendship 
through our sincere actions!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Each of us has our own painful battles with karma. In the course of our unsparing, untold efforts in life and kosen-rufu, we may face the sufferings of illness, ageing and the loss of loved ones. But we have taken to heart the Daishonin's message 'Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life' (WND–1, 283). As champions of unwavering, steadfast faith, we are certain to transform even the most challenging karma and savour the brilliant triumph of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, in accord with the Buddhist principle of 'lessening karmic retribution.'"

Editorial, Building a Society That Supports Happy Ageing, August 2022 edition of the monthly study magazine Daibyakurenge.
