-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"One's thoughts are expressed in one's voice."*
Our daimoku with honest concern
for our friends' happiness
definitely resonates in their hearts.
Let's take every possible opportunity
to talk to others sincerely and refreshingly
to help guide them towards happiness!
*"Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images" - WND-I, page 86

"When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs."
(The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind Established in the Fifth Five-Hundred-Year Period after the Thus Come One's Passing
- WND, Vol. 1, page 376)

"No matter what the circumstances, the presence of one person who has built a golden palace in their hearts, a single golden capable individual, can lead everything in a positive direction, in the direction of happiness.
"Let us advance by fostering such dedicated individuals and becoming such dedicated individuals ourselves.
"If each and every Soka Gakkai member shines as a person of true gold, we can lead all humanity toward happiness, security, and peace."
