-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If we ourselves change,
then the other person's mind and heart
will change as well.
The transformation of our own mindset
is what can fundamentally change everything,
no matter what you might be challenging right now.
Let's start by chanting daimoku

"Who is it that supports the Soka Gakkai and is advancing kosen-rufu?
"Mr. Toda was crystal clear about this: 'Those who energetically devote themselves to sharing Buddhism with others are the mainstay and supporting pillar of the Soka Gakkai, irrespective of their social status or years of practice.'
"Those exerting themselves in our frontline organisations for kosen-rufu are the most respectworthy. They are striving valiantly amid the greatest challenges. Nichiren Daishonin would surely praise their tremendous efforts. This was Mr. Toda's firm conviction.
"He taught us to always show the greatest respect, appreciation, and care to the supremely noble members who are actively sharing Buddhism with others, engaged in Soka Gakkai activities, and working hard within the organisation."
