-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"'Joy' means that oneself and others together experience joy."*
When we dedicate ourselves to helping others to become happy,
our own lives become enriched at the same time.
So let's enlarge this circle of joy and happiness!

"Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra. This is what is meant by 'No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality.'"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Now in the 21st century, the possibility that all humanity will be linked together as one big family is emerging. At the same time, the struggle against humanity's karma of division and discrimination is also intensifying. Today, thinkers in every field agree that humanity is facing a crossroads - namely, the question of whether we will be able to overcome this karma or not.
"...The new age when all humanity will be joined as members of one big family is a time for all of us, not just one specific group, to stand up as pillars.
"Kosen-rufu is an unprecedented movement in which each of us, through our actions as a practitioner of the Mystic Law, strives to become a pillar - a person of unshakable commitment - who will work to change the destiny of humankind."
