-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Buddhism teaches the principle 

of "Three Thousand Realms 

in a single moment of life".

If our mindset changes, 

then, without fail, 

our surrounding environment 

changes as well. 

For the sake of building 

a peaceful society 

filled with happiness, 

let's continue "My challenge" 

with perseverance,

to the very end!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Mugwort usually grows loosely, spreading out haphazardly, but when planted among straight-standing hemp, it, too, grows straight. Likewise, when people encounter positive influences, they become good and upright. Good friends function to lead everyone they interact with to the path of happiness.

Today, the Soka Gakkai is a gathering of such good friends—"friends in the orchid room." As "good friends" in the shared challenge of human revolution, our members strive to awaken the goodness within themselves and others as they help one another grow and develop. They accomplish this through practical efforts to hold conversations brimming with warm encouragement, especially at our discussion meetings.


The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [89] A People-Centred Religion—Transmitting the Philosophy of Respect for Life to the Future, Soka Gakkai Members Are "Friends in the Orchid Room," from the Daibyakurenge, Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, September 2022, translation released June 2023
