-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's through taking action
courageously and tenaciously
that we can open up the way
to advancing Kosen-rufu!
Young fellow members who are striving
to introduce this Buddhism to others,
challenge to break through
the walls of cowardice that hinder your actions,
and proudly create a history
of the victories in your life!

"The Buddha preached the Lotus Sutra over a period of eight years, and eight characters sum up the message that he has left behind for living beings in this later age, the Latter Day of the Law. It is in the passage that reads, 'Therefore, Universal Worthy, if you see a person who accepts and upholds this sutra, you should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha' (chapter twenty-eight)"
("The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings", pages 192-193)
