-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In our discussion meetings,
each and every one of us
plays the main role.
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You should respect one another
as Shakyamuni and Many Treasures did
at the ceremony in the 'Treasure Tower' chapter."*
By praising each other's dedicated efforts,
may discussion bloom in profusion!
*"The Fourteen Slanders" - WND-I, page 757

"The answer is simply to examine the proof that is close at hand, and thus to take hold of faith that is far off."
