-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"A person who upholds the Lotus Sutra
is repaying the debt of gratitude owed
to father and mother."*
To the youth, the successors
in our kosen-rufu movement,
may you genuinely treat your parents
with respect and kindness
through exerting yourself in the two ways of
practice and study of the Daishonin's Buddhism!
* "The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude", WND-ll page 638
The sentence after this quote reads, "Even if one does not feel in one's own heart that one can do so, one can repay it through the power of this sutra." (https://www.nichirenlibrary.org/)
