-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we have such changeful weather
(like now in Japan),
let's make sure that safety and absolutely no accidents
let's make sure that safety and absolutely no accidents
are our top priority
for all of our activities such as satellite broadcasts
for all of our activities such as satellite broadcasts
and any other form of meeting.
Let's be sure that we all express our utmost appreciation
"Doing so is a source of immense joy to which nothing can compare.
"As global citizens, the members of the SGI have persevered tirelessly in one-on-one dialogue all around the world. I hope that you will continue to reach out to others, your voices brimming with hope and conviction, and bring brilliant flowers of the joy of human revolution to bloom."
Let's be sure that we all express our utmost appreciation
to all of those members who are supporting
the running of our meetings behind the scenes.

"Even though one neither reads nor studies the sutra, chanting the title alone is the source of tremendous good fortune. The sutra teaches that women, evil men, and those in the realms of animals and hell—in fact, all the beings of the Ten Worlds—can attain Buddhahood in their present form. [This is an incomparably greater wonder than] fire being produced by a stone taken from the bottom of a river, or a lantern lighting up a place that has been dark for a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years."

"There is no special method for expanding our movement for worldwide kosen-rufu. It is simply a matter of summoning the courage, wherever we are, to wholeheartedly share Nichiren Buddhism with the person right in front of us, to patiently and sincerely sow the seeds of the Mystic Law in each person's life.
