-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Buddhism is the Buddhism of sowing the seeds of Buddhahood.*
Every time we courageously talk about the greatness of this Buddhism to
others,
the seeds of Buddhahood will definitely be planted in their hearts.
And as long as we continue to sincerely encourage
and nurture their practice,
the seeds will certainly germinate and yield the fruits of happiness.

*"It is stated that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout as a
result of conditions, and for this reason they preach the
single vehicle.'" - "The Properties of Rice", WND-I, page
1117
