-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Buddhism is the teaching
"to remove suffering and to give happiness."
Sincerely empathising with our friends
who are in the midst of hardship,
let's chant daimoku together with them
until their hardship is resolved.
Our wholehearted and persistent
encouragement to our friends
is certain to turn on the light of courage
in their hearts.
