-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Living as we do in the evil age of the Latter Day of the Law*,
it is essential that we advance boldly and with strong conviction.
Regardless of what kind of situation we might be in right now,
it is important that we firmly determine that "We will definitely win!"
Let's be courageous champions who never cease to advance,
no matter what!
*Buddhism calls our present age the Latter Day of the Law.
It is a period described in the sutras as an evil age
defiled by the five impurities, in which people's lives
are muddied, and their confusion of thought is extreme.

Nichiren Daishonin)

"The Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-75) wrote: 'Among the virtues
gratitude is in my judgment most especially to be commended, and ingratitude
in equal measure to be censured.' I hope you will never become individuals
who lack gratitude and appreciation. Nothing is more deplorable than
ingratitude."
