-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be careful about

Let's remind each other to be careful

Good health is an invaluable treasure!

"Concerning the 'peaceful' practices of the Lotus Sutra of the
Wonderful Law and the practices carried out by Nichiren and his
followers now in the Latter Day of the Law, you should understand that,
when one practises the Lotus Sutra under such circumstances,
difficulties will arise, and these are to be looked on as 'peaceful' practices."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 750, The Record of the Orally
Transmitted Teachings, page 115)

"The famous French author Albert Camus (1913–60) wrote:
"In a world where poverty and absurdity make so many people lose their humanity, to save a single [person] means to save oneself, as well as a bit of humanity's future which we all hope for.[1]
"By guiding another individual towards happiness, we guide ourselves towards happiness. This is our practice of introducing others to Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. The act of introducing others to Buddhism, which enables us to profoundly benefit both ourselves and others, is the formula for hope for humanity…."
