"The ability to engage in dialogue is one of the most outstanding human attributes. Dialogue expresses our humanity.


"Through talking with one another, hearts open, mutual understanding develops, and friendship spreads.


"True dialogue is not putting on a facade and spouting empty, flowery rhetoric. Dialogue is interacting life to life, just as we are, as fellow human beings, with sincerity, conviction and patience.


"A Buddhist sage1 once said: 'The voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (WND-2, 57). The Lotus Sutra—extolled as 'the king of sutras'—is a dialogue among Shakyamuni Buddha and his disciples. Nichiren Daishonin wrote his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' as a dialogue between a host and a guest. Dialogue has the power to encourage and engender hope. It is a wellspring of courage and a fresh breeze of revitalisation. It is a bridge connecting people’s hearts.

"Even the darkness becomes bright when a lantern is lit, and even muddy water becomes clear when the moon shines on it. Can anything exceed the sun and moon in brightness? Can anything surpass the lotus flower in purity? The Lotus Sutra is the sun and moon and the lotus flower. Therefore it is called the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law. Nichiren, too, is like the sun and moon and the lotus flower."

“In The Divine Comedy, Dante depicts the terrible consequences awaiting those who, after death, are judged as guilty of jealousy, deceit, arrogance, violence, lying and treachery. His epic poem is an impeachment of the evils that cause human beings misery and suffering.


“No matter the status, fame or wealth people may gain, without addressing the issue of death, they will not be able to live correctly or enjoy true happiness. Many of the problems facing the world today stem from the fact that people avoid the all-important question of death and instead seek to fulfil only immediate desires.


“Shin'ichi was convinced that if people awakened to the great teaching of the eternity of life taught in Buddhism, society would experience a new renaissance of life.”

5th April 2026 Sunday Daily Gosho + 6th April Monday Daily Encouragement

Daily Gosho & Encouragement, both using, where possible, the latest official translations, all quotes are from Nichiren Daishonin or Ikeda Sensei unless otherwise stated…

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"Everywhere other than the Capital of Tranquil Light is a realm of suffering. Once you leave the haven of inherent enlightenment, what is there to bring you joy? I pray that you will embrace the Mystic Law, which guarantees that people 'will enjoy peace and security in their present existence and good circumstances in future existences.' This is the only glory that you need seek in your present lifetime, and is  the action that will draw you towards Buddhahood in your next existence. Single-mindedly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and urge others to do the same; that will remain as the only memory of your present  life in this human world."

Embracing the Lotus Sutra

"When you have given your all to a struggle, you are filled with a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. That is because you have met the challenge, conquered your limitations and experienced the great drama of life and human revolution. The face of a person who has fought on without reserve glows. It is lit by the radiance of a lofty spirit dedicated to working for the welfare of friends, fellow members and all humanity."

The New Human Revolution, Vol.7, The Flower of Culture. (Sun8)

"There are shadows in the darkness, but people cannot discern them. There are trails in the sky where birds fly, but people cannot recognise them. There are paths in the sea along which fish swim, but people cannot perceive them. All people and things of the four continents are reflected in the moon without a single exception, but people cannot see them. But they are visible to the heavenly eye."

and Other Chapters

"Buddhism teaches the law of cause and effect operating throughout the three existences of past, present and future. As Soka Gakkai members who day after day walk the path of highest good that is kosen-rufu in accord with this law, we cannot fail to secure an eternal state of indestructible happiness."
