-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Gosho says:
"the more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings will increase."*
Let us warmly praise and appreciate the strenuous efforts
that each one of our fellow members is making!
Let us widely and constantly cultivate flower gardens of happiness!
* Gosho - The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra - WND1, page 673, "The more
gold is heated in the flames, the brighter will be its colour; the
more a sword is whetted, the sharper it will become. And the more one
praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings
will increase."

"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin states:
"'Great joy [is what] one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been the Buddha. Nam-myoho- renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys.' (OTT, 211–12)
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the heart of the Lotus Sutra revealed by Nichiren Daishonin, represents the ultimate wisdom for attaining an indestructible and eternal life-state of unsurpassed joy."
