-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Taking action is the heart of Buddhism.
Dynamically, let's put our faith into action!
When we meet with others and share this philosophy of life,
our spirits rise and our life condition is elevated.
Today, again, let's take a courageous step forwards!

"Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."
(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain-The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. I page 598) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",Seikyo Shimbun, March 29th, 2015

"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, said: 'Should you feel as though you're stuck, bring forth the great power of faith, challenge your own weaknesses, triumph over them, and expand your state of life. This is the ongoing challenge of "discarding the transient and revealing the true" in one's own life.'
"Never be discouraged, even if you don't see immediate results or things don't seem to be going as you had planned. Set forth anew each day, with perseverance and optimism. That is the way to genuine hope and fulfilment."
