-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Life is all about taking action.
And Buddhism is about progressing and advancing.
The more we make an effort to meet and talk with others,
the more we can expand and develop our circle of friends
and at the same time elevate our life conditions to a higher level!
Let's enthusiastically be in the forefront of our movement,
engaging in dialogue with as many people as we possibly can.

"[This is an incomparably greater wonder than] fire being produced by a stone taken from the bottom of a river, or a lantern lighting up a place that has been dark for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years."
(The One Essential Phrase - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 923)
