-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us to,
"Strengthen your resolve more than ever."*
Let's advance and yet again advance!
With the determination to never be defeated and to never ever give up,
let's create a new Soka era together!

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law?"
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 681)

"Dialogue is a heart-to-heart symphony. It can produce a dynamic rhythm of progress, a harmony of mutual trust, and a melody of fresh creativity.
"The renowned Danish educator Hans Henningsen declared: 'Dialogue has meaning precisely when opinions, views, and personalities are entirely different.'[1]
"It takes courage to initiate a dialogue, but when we do so, we open the way for fresh concord and mutual understanding."
