-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"(Arouse deep faith, and) 
diligently polish your mirror 
day and night."*
It's persistently doing gongyo 
and chanting daimoku everyday,
the most profound 
Buddhist practice, 
which enables us to 
thoroughly polish our lives.

in This Lifetime"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Peace begins with helping each person recognise and develop their highest potential. Expanding our network of people committed to dialogue is a process through which we draw forth our own and the other person's infinitely noble Buddha nature. That is the most fundamental action and surest step to root out the evil behind nuclear weapons."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [89] A People-Centred Religion—Transmitting the Philosophy of Respect for Life to the Future, Vanquishing the Ignorance That Resides in the Human Heart, from the Daibyakurenge, Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, September 2022, translation released June 2023
