-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is a movement that is
promoted by the power of our voices
and the words we say.
The Daishonin teaches,
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way' (WND-2, 1060).
"When you do something to bring joy to others, your own heart is filled with joy….
"As SGI members, we make the effort to reach out to others, even as we struggle with our own problems. Sometimes, people may not understand our sincerity and speak ill of us. But we don't let that get us down. We continue to chant even more daimoku, become even more cheerful, and take action so that everyone can become happy. This is the way SGI members live."
