-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everyone, without exception,
has, in the depth's of their lives, unlimited potential and possibilities.
The great source that enables us to tap into and develop our abilities,
is the spirit of oneness of mentor and disciple!

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to
enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life,
and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what
happens."
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, July 18th, 2009

"Mr. Toda said:
"'Firmly believing that there is no distinction between the Gohonzon, the Daishonin,
and ourselves, we should chant daimoku with deep appreciation and gratitude for this
in our hearts. When we do so, the rhythm of our lives aligns itself with the rhythm
of the universe and our lives connect with the great life of the universe, thereby
enabling us to bring forth incredible life-force.'
"Accordingly, there are no hardships or sufferings in life that we cannot overcome,
and no way that we will fail to become happy. Mr. Toda also said that if we exert
ourselves assiduously in faith, practice, and study, we would not remain forever
deluded, unenlightened people at the mercy of various sufferings. All of the members
of the SGI can bring their lives to shine with the same brilliant life-state of the
Buddha."
