-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As a "leader," let's take the initiative
in visiting our fellow members!
By having sincere and candid conversations,
we can deepen our heart to heart bonds,
and help others to develop.
True wisdom and strength lies among people
who are in the very heart of our activities!

"as for the matter of becoming a Buddha, ordinary people keep in mind the words 'earnest resolve' and thereby become Buddhas."

"At discussion meetings, everyone has a starring role. Regardless of age or gender, they are all great actors and actresses who have emerged from the earth. And the experiences related by members—experiences hard-won through sweat and tears—are precious and inspiring dramas of human revolution.
"No matter what problems we may be struggling with or how exhausted we may be, we will feel uplifted, more positive, and encouraged. That is the wonderful thing about our discussion meetings, which are 'theatres of happiness.'"
SGI Newsletter No. 9722, Discussion Meetings—Vibrant "Theatres of Happiness," from the November 2017 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 16th Oct. 2017
