-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our local community is very much
the true stage
for achieving worldwide kosen-rufu.
By having the type of conversation
that helps others and ourselves
to cultivate and enrich our hearts and minds,
let's steadily lay the roots of trust
and friendship around us!

"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

"Meeting and talking with people individually and forging heart-to-heart ties; uniting in friendship and working together to build an indestructible fortress of happiness and advance kosen-rufu—this is the essence of the Soka Gakkai's movement.
"It is ties of trust between people that infuse the organisation and its structures with a warm humanity and the vibrant pulse of faith. The humanistic organisation of the Soka Gakkai could not exist without one-to-one dialogue."
