-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The true value of faith is found
in the behaviour of the people who practise it.
Let's contribute our lives
to others and society,
with pride and confidence.
I hope each and every one of us becomes
a pillar in the local community,
someone who everyone can trust
and count on.

"If not this, then let them fling their five limbs to the earth, let the sweat pour from their whole body. Or if not this, then let them bring wonderful treasures and heap them before the Buddha, or let them become menials in the service of one who upholds the sutra."

"Illness can become an opportunity for self-perfection. Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way' (WND-1, 937). Facing illness and struggling to cope with it can rouse strong faith and determination, along with a powerful seeking spirit towards Buddhism, which results in personal growth."
