Let's mingle with people

and spread friendship!
Cheerfully and refreshingly!
The expansion of kosen-rufu 
comes about by developing trust
with others!

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"Many of the practitioners from Sado Province have made the long journey all the way to this place, and that is why I have expounded for them the teaching that I am propagating now, which will become the seed of Buddhahood in their future lives as well. All of this is due to the blessings of the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha. How marvellous!"

(Reply to the Lay Priest Misawa 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 534)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda said: 'Please talk with others unhesitatingly about what you've learned about Nichiren Buddhism. By doing so, it will eventually become part of your life.'

"By practising steadfastly with faith like flowing water, we will cross the sea of the sufferings of birth and death and attain Buddhahood, regardless of our social position or circumstances. We become victors in life by remaining unshaken by anything as we exert ourselves courageously in faith."
