-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us to
"move about without fear like the lion king."*
The heart of Buddhism is all about being "courageous".
So now, courageously and enthusiastically,
let's take action to realise the great ideal of kosen-rufu!

*"Wherever your daughter may frolic or play, no harm will come to her; she will move about without fear like the lion king. ... A sword is useless in the hands of a coward. The mighty sword of the Lotus Sutra must be wielded by one courageous in faith." - "Reply to Kyo'o", WND-I, page 412
