-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's a productive planning meeting
that enables our districts
to make such great advancement!
Let's be attentive of
everyone's opinions and ideas.
It's also important to narrow down
the number of items
that need to be discussed
so as to use the available time effectively!

"The Daishonin declares: 'The varied sufferings that all living beings undergo—all these are Nichiren's own sufferings' (OTT, 138).
"This expresses the infinitely compassionate life state of the Daishonin, who regarded the sufferings of humankind as his own and opened the way for all people to attain enlightenment. As his disciples, we strive to live with this same spirit.
"Rather than being absorbed only with our own problems, we empathise with and share the struggles of all kinds of people, dedicating our lives to kosen-rufu in order to show them the way to indestructible happiness."
SGI Newsletter No. 9559, The New Human Revolution––Vol. 27: Chap. 3, Fierce Struggle 7, translation released 1st March, 2017
