-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Taking pride in being Bodhisattvas of the Earth,
let's do our utmost for others' happiness.
A fulfilling life
lies in the diamond like firm conviction
where we spare no pains
for the purpose of
performing our unique missions.

"The aim of Buddhism is the happiness of the individual. It is the same with our organisation for kosen-rufu. People do not exist for the sake of the organisation; the organisation exists to benefit people. The goal of our organisation is to embrace each individual and support them in their advance towards happiness and attaining Buddhahood."
