-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The seeds of happiness that we endeavour to sow in a friend's heart,
are certain to bloom one day!
Today, too let's courageously carry out the Buddhism of sowing*
(by widely sharing this practice with others).

*Nichiren Buddhism is called the Buddhism of sowing.

*"The age has arrived when people throughout the world yearn for the
humanistic Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. Indeed, the time has come
for each of us to demonstrate the illuminating power of the three
virtues of the Buddhism of sowing that can activate the Buddha nature
of all humankind."
(Lectures on The Opening of the Eyes by Daisaku Ikeda)

attain Buddhahood."
