-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude
to the families who offer their homes for activities
and support our kosen-rufu movement from behind the scenes.
Let's together protect these homes, the treasure castles of the local community,
and expand our circles of friendship and trust!

"If all of you nurture the same seeds of Myoho-renge-kyo in your hearts, then you all will be reborn together in the same land of Myoho-renge-kyo. When the three of you are reunited there face to face, how great your joy will be!"

"Nichiren Buddhism is the Buddhism of sowing. Forming even the smallest connection with Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ensures that the seed of Buddhahood will endure and eventually sprout. That is why those who practise and propagate the Law, helping people form a precious connection with Nichiren Buddhism, will enjoy immeasurable good fortune and benefit.

"Enabling someone to form a connection with even a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra, with the Mystic Law, plants the seed for attaining Buddhahood in that person's life, a seed that will live on eternally."
