-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The keys to the development 
of good relations and friendships 
with the neighbours are:
"To sincerely chant for
the peace and prosperity 
of our neighborhood,"
"To be courteous and 
sensible in our daily actions" 
and
"To maintain the spirit of helping 
and supporting each other."
Let's make every effort to 
develop warm priceless bonds 
with everyone in our local community!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Many hear about and accept this sutra, but when great obstacles arise, just as they were told would happen, few remember it and bear it firmly in mind."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin notes: 'One added to one becomes two, two becomes three, and so on to make ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or an asamkhya.* Yet "one" is the mother of all' (WND-1, 667).

"These words also remind me in particular of the tireless efforts of our members, Bodhisattvas Never Disparaging of Soka, who engage in sincere and openhearted dialogue day after day, with one person after another, in the spirit of showing the deepest respect for the Buddha nature of each individual."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Spreading the Light of Respect for the Dignity of Life through Dialogue, March 27th 2023 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2023.
* Asamkyha: A numerical unit of ancient India used to indicate an exceedingly large number.
