-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"And even more valuable than reason and
documentary proof is the proof of actual fact."*
Nothing can surpass the power of
someone's first-hand experience.
With words of great conviction and confidence,
let's create a surge of courageous waves
in our friends' hearts!
*"Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain"

"Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person."

- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Vol 1, page 536)
