-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Where there is unseen virtue,
there will be visible reward."*
The lives of those
The lives of those
who are constantly making steady efforts
and working hard for the sake of kosen-rufu,
even if no one recognises their efforts at all,
and working hard for the sake of kosen-rufu,
even if no one recognises their efforts at all,
are ensured of immeasurable benefits
and good fortune.
Let's proudly walk along the path
of the vow we have made!
