We have a national press holiday here in Japan to allow all those involved in producing a newspaper a little rest! So "To My Friends" is not available…so saying that we will carry on minus that one section!

"Even if one should fall into hell, because one has heard the Lotus Sutra, which leads to Buddhahood, with this as the seed, one will invariably become a Buddha."
(How Those Initially Aspiring to the Way Can Attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume I, page 882)

"'Bodhisattva Never Disparaging of old said that all people have the Buddha nature and that, if they embrace the Lotus Sutra, they will never fail to attain Buddhahood. He further stated that to slight a person is to slight the Buddha himself. Thus, his practice was to revere all people.'
- From "The Fourteen Slanders" (WND-1, 756).

"Believing that all people possess the Buddha nature, Bodhisattva Never Disparaging always bowed in reverence to everyone he met.
"We of the SGI are carrying on this unsurpassed bodhisattva practice today in the form of engaging in dialogues to share Nichiren Buddhism with those around us, which represents an act of supreme respect for others.
"Wishing for the happiness of all people, we seek to awaken the Buddhahood inherent in each person's life.
"May you be brave, wise, and unfaltering in that endeavour, just like Bodhisattva Never Disparaging!"
