-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always pay close attention to
what our young people and ladies have to say.
That is the current of the times!
The strength to build and develop our society
lies in the voices of youthful sensitivity and wisdom.

"When an evil ruler in consort with priests of erroneous teachings tries to destroy the correct teaching and do away with a man of wisdom, those with the heart of a lion king are sure to attain Buddhahood."
(Letter from Sado
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol 1, Page 302)

"Buddhist dialogue is the most important work of. It also allows us to strengthen and develop our lives.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'If the Law that one embraces is supreme, then the person who embraces it must accordingly be foremost among all others' (WND-1, 61).
"You who uphold the ultimate Law of the universe are incredibly noble. The benefit accruing from your efforts to share and spread the Mystic Law is immeasurable. Even if your attempts at dialogue don't bear immediate fruit, there is absolutely no reason to be disappointed.
"Sowing the seeds by letting people hear the teaching is the foremost way of practice. Rousing your courage and challenging yourself in this endeavour is in itself a personal victory."
