-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Thank you!"
Such heartwarming words can lift others' spirits
and often are the source of fresh new determinations of
"OK, I'm ready to challenge myself again!"
Let's become the type of person
who constantly radiates with sincerity and integrity!

"Bring forth the great power of faith, and be spoken of by all the people of Kamakura, both high and low, or by all the people of Japan, as 'Shijō Kingo, Shijō Kingo of the Lotus school!'"

- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,

"Emphasising the importance of addressing error in the realm of Buddhism, Nichiren Daishonin frequently cited the words of a well-known Buddhist scripture: 'If one befriends another person but lacks the mercy to correct him, one is in fact his enemy'[1] (WND-1, 625).
"…There can be no revealing the true without refuting the erroneous. In fact, failure to correct what is wrong amounts to condoning evil and makes one complicit with it."
SGI Newsletter No. 9290, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 2, Instalments: Justice 16, translation released 4th Sep., 2015.
