-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The temperature difference
between the days and nights is getting quite big.
I hope you'll all take
the utmost care of your health!
Let's all become wise people who manifest
the principle of faith equals daily life!

"Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"

"Nichiren Daishonin's lifetime teachings are said to begin and end with his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land.'
"…As he states in this treatise: 'If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?' (WND-1, 24). If we desire personal happiness, he is saying, we must first pray for the security and prosperity of society and for world peace. As long as war and natural disasters afflict the land, people cannot attain happiness.
"It is not just a matter of striving for our own happiness. True happiness can only be attained by praying for a peaceful and prosperous society for all and working to make it a reality.
"In addition, by living this way, we can break free from the small shell of our lesser selves and achieve truly worthwhile and fulfilling lives.
"I hope you will actively engage in society and do your utmost to help others and contribute to your community. This is the heart of Nichiren Buddhism."
