-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the Buddhism that enables us to change our karma, our
profound basic life tendency, for the better.*
Through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo more earnestly,
seriously and single-mindedly than ever,
awakening to the original aspiration that we have had deep in
our lives from the remote past,**
let's create a new history today as if we were reborn into
a brand new life!

** President Toda once said:
Nichiren Daishonin established the Law that enables
ordinary people to break through the negative causality
from the past existing in their lives and return to the
remote past [of kuon ganjo] in the course of their
day-to-day existence.
To put it another way, dedicating oneself [to the
Daishonin] and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the method
for transforming destiny for the better. Through
following this method, the common mortal of kuon ganjo
appears and the negative causes and effects formed in the
interim all disappear.
