-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Shakubuku* is an act 

of the highest respect for others
and one that requires 

courage and compassion.

Through our 

sincere encouragement to 

"remove suffering and give joy,"**
honestly wishing 

for our friend's happiness,
indestructible trust is certain 

to be developed with them.

"More valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all. From the time you read this letter on, strive to accumulate the treasures of the heart!"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'the [revitalising] neighing of the white horses is the sound of our voices chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" (WND–1, 989). With the resonant sound of our daimoku, let us strengthen our own and others' life force physically and spiritually, increase the brilliance and power of the protective forces of the universe and bring hope and tranquility to the lands where we have chosen to fulfil our vow for kosen-rufu."
