-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The writings of Nichiren Daishonin
are filled with words of boundless wisdom!
When we're seeking a way
to break through the wall in front of us,
or looking for a way to help our fellow members
summon up their courage,
if we earnestly reach out for the Daishonin's writings
a light of hope is certain to illuminate the way

"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life."
("The True Aspect of All Phenomena",

"Capable individuals are nurtured in the midst of hardship.
"Mr. Toda said: 'As Bodhisattvas of the Earth, you need to voluntarily seek out difficult challenges. Why? So you can impart infinite hope and courage to those who come after you through your example of striving boldly and winning.'
"Let's illuminate society with the light of capable individuals! Let's stir a fresh breeze of hope and courage!"
