-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"My disciples,
form your ranks and follow me."*
All of our successors of kosen-rufu,
stand up and initiate action!
Let's courageously speak up and
engage in dialogue and discussion
to expand the solidarity of
(people united for the cause of) good!

"At the time when the Law has spread far and wide, the entire Japanese nation will chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, as surely as an arrow aimed at the earth cannot miss the target. But now you must build your reputation on the Lotus Sutra and give yourself up to it."
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena
- WND, Vol. 1, page 385)
