-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The essential spirit of Buddhism lies
in the important aspect of 'taking action.'
If we chant and take concrete steps,
the way forwards will definitely open up
and irrepressible joy will well forth from the depths of our hearts.
Let's become the champions of challenges
who boldly and fearlessly take on any form of challenge!

"Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes."
(The Third Day of the New Year - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1013)
