-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When it's time to embark upon a new endeavour,
let's remember that the very first step
in winning the trust of people around us,
is the sincere attitude and behaviour
with which we interact with them.
Let's become that reliable
and indispensable presence
wherever our mission lies.

"By chanting Nam-myo-renge-kyo, we can bring forth the Buddha wisdom to positively transform any problem or suffering, in accord with the principle of "changing poison into medicine." And we will come to understand that everything has meaning and that nothing is ever wasted in Buddhism. We can look back with appreciation and say, for instance: 'Falling ill made me chant like never before!' 'Battling painful challenges enabled me to really expand my life!'
The Buddhism of the Sun - Illuminating the World, (25) A Religion of Human revolution - Part 5, The Wisdom to See Things as They Really Are, from the May edition of the Daibyakurenge 2017, translation released January 2018.
