The Daishonin teaches us (the principle

"One's body and mind at a single moment
pervade the entire realm of phenomena."*
The power of daimoku
is as vast as the entire universe.
By chanting daimoku
By chanting daimoku
with the vow to achieve kosen-rufu,
let's create a surge of increasing
let's create a surge of increasing
fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
Let's strive together with our young friends
Let's strive together with our young friends
all around the world!
*"You should understand that one's life and its environment at a single moment encompass the three thousand realms. Therefore, when one attains the Buddha way, one puts oneself in accord with this fundamental principle, and one's body and mind at a single moment pervade the entire realm of phenomena."
