-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The foundations for kosen-rufu are rock-solid, thanks to the efforts of those heroes and heroines who have worked so diligently behind the scenes to support our activities.
"..it is said that where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward."*
Let's make sure to wholeheartedly acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of those who may never stand out in the limelight, but who often work silently unnoticed behind the scenes.
* Gosho, *"Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward" - WND-1, page 907
REPRINT - Monday, September 28th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Repaying the debts of our gratitude" means that the
disciples demonstrate proof of victory.
That is what the whole future of kosen-rufu hinges on.
To all of my dearest friends,
let's perform a courageous dance winning in all the
challenges we face for the sake of justice and truth!
