-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Words that earnestly wish for our friends' happiness
and which are sincerely caring
definitely touch and move their hearts.
The Daishonin states,
"The voice carries out the work of the Buddha."*
With strong conviction and confidence,
let's continue to talk about this Buddhism with others!

"The truth of three thousand realms in a single moment of life too has its origins in this single word 'belief' or 'faith,' and it is through this single word 'belief' that the Buddhas of the three existences of past, present, and future attained their enlightenment. This word 'belief' is a sharp sword that cuts off fundamental darkness or ignorance."
(Chapter Four: Belief and Understanding -The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 54) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 22nd, 2015
