--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT —
"' If you happen to meet someone, even though you may feel reluctant to do so, you should acknowledge them. Even if you don't feel like smiling, greet them with a smile.' 

(GZ, new ed., 1952; 'Reply to Kawai')*

"Most of us have people we get along with well and others we find it hard to deal with. Here, the Daishonin recognizes that fact, but says that even when you happen to encounter someone you find challenging, you should have the courage to acknowledge them. Even if you feel disinclined to do so, greet them with a smile, he says."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [83] Our Behaviour as Human beings Is the heart of Buddhism—Expanding Our movement with Sincerity, Wisdom and Joy,  Greeting Others with a Smile, March 2022 issue of Daibyakurenge, translation released November 2022 

*Tentative translation. "Reply to Kawai is thought to have been written on April 19th, 1280. It is either the concluding fragment of a longer letter, the rest of which has been lost, or a very short letter in its own right.
