A translation of President Ikeda's "To My Friends"
published in the Seikyo Shinbun and more.

-- Words of the Week --
The more we study Buddhism,
the stronger our confidence and conviction
becomes in our faith and practice.
The more we share this Buddhism
and its philosophy with others,
the higher our life condition is elevated.
Together with our treasured members and friends
who are taking the upcoming Buddhist study exams,
let's enjoy exerting ourselves in the two ways of practice and study
by engraving the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
deeply in our hearts!

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life
- WND, Vol. I, page 217)

"I once encouraged our members: 'If each of us can cultivate ten genuine friendships, then kosen-rufu will surely advance!'
"My friends, let's stand up and set forth energetically to further advance our movement for kosen-rufu!
"Let's not remain silent, but make an effort to talk with others about the philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism.
"Let's make each day an adventure filled with friendship and dialogue!
"And let's work together to build realms of expanding happiness in our places of mission."
