-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's the time of
the changing of seasons.
Let's be mindful of
extreme changes in temperature,
and wisely take appropriate measures
so as to stay on top of our health!
Strengthening our chanting
for our shared vow for kosen-rufu,
let's vibrantly advance in high spirits!

"This one word 'together' means that, as long as they are together with Nichiren, they will reach the treasure land."

"'Now this place, too, is like that. It is the place of the cluster of blessings where the Buddhas and bodhisattvas dwell.
"The blessings of the Lotus Sutra, which I have recited over these many years, must be vaster even than the sky.'
-From 'The Place of the Cluster of Blessings' (WND-1, 1070).
"Where SGI members, Bodhisattvas of the Earth, gather is a treasure land—the dwelling place of Buddhas and bodhisattvas—overflowing with boundless benefit and joy.
"SGI gatherings are themselves noble 'assemblies of the Lotus Sutra.' Families who open their homes for such gatherings are accumulating infinite good fortune and benefit. They are certain to be safeguarded by the protective forces of the universe, and their descendants will continue to flourish in generation after generation.
"With deepest appreciation and respect for their precious support and efforts, let's show our utmost consideration when holding meetings at members' homes or privately owned centres."
(98) Opening Our Homes for Activities Is a Source of Immeasurable Benefit
