-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"Even more valuable than reason and documentary proof is
the proof of actual fact."*
The experience of our benefit brings people joy and
happiness and spreads great hope to everyone around us.
Let's joyfully hold dialogue with other people,
sharing the good fortune and great benefit through our
faith and practice.

As Nichikan Shonin (1665-1726), a great restorer of
Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, famously wrote: "No prayer will go
unanswered." And Josei Toda declared: "Without a doubt,
pure faith is rewarded with benefits."
