-- To My Friends --
With the Gosho,
the writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
as a compass to guide us,
let's bravely confront
any and all storms of hardships that assail us!
By converting the furious gale of any ordeal we are facing
into the tail wind for our advance,
let's live a magnificent voyage of life!
