-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Inertia means to stagnate.
To challenge ourselves, on the other hand,
is to make progress and develop.
Especially as we are living in a world
where everything changes so rapidly,
let's ceaselessly continue
to cultivate and polish ourselves!

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'To slander the Law means to turn one's back on the Law' (WND-2, 216). The true meaning of slander of the Law is to act against and oppose the correct teaching of Buddhism. As the Daishonin writes, 'It is the heart that is important' (WND-1, 1000). One's unwavering faith in the Gohonzon is what really matters."
