-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A brilliant outstanding history is not created in a single day.
It's the accumulation of all those seemingly small steps
that lead to the definite realisation of the great ones.
Let's courageously go all out today and make today a day of success!

"This is indeed wondrous. This is precisely what is meant by the statement that unseen virtue brings about visible reward."

"Mr. Toda used to say: "Just even talking to someone about Buddhism is propagation; it is sowing the seeds of Buddhism. It brings immediate benefit."
"Whether or not your efforts to share the Daishonin's Buddhism with others are successful, you will still enjoy great benefits from doing so. Your endeavours enable you to grow and carry out your human revolution, as well as to build genuine friendships and help others forge a connection with Buddhism. Numerous seniors in faith have demonstrated this. Through their propagation efforts, they have transformed their state of life, changed their family situations, shown positive results at work, and won the trust of those around them.
"The key to doing so is to be cheerful and confident no matter what, and to patiently and sincerely share the Daishonin's Buddhism with those around you in a way that is true to yourself."
