-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Now Nichiren and his followers 

are the 

bodhisattva Never Disparaging."*
By truly believing in 

the Buddha nature of others 

and having conversations 

based on the philosophy of respect 

for human dignity and life,

let's help 

as many people as possible 

to form a connection with Buddhism!

"For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'No one can avoid problems, not even sages or worthies' (WND–1, 681). If we commit to truth and justice, we will encounter difficulties. This is inevitable.

"That's why, no matter what others may say, or how they treat you, just tell yourself: 'This is exactly as the Daishonin teaches. Problems have come up, just as expected. It's time to fight!' Then carry on with determination. Continue boldly along your path, this path, the great path of Soka, dedicated to truth and justice."
