-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our mission (in life) is not something
that someone assigns us.
"I will be victorious
right where I stand!"
The place where we ourselves choose
with such commitment
is the very "stage" on which
to realise brilliant achievement and glory!

"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison. The verb sa, 'to make' or 'to roar,' should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth. It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law."

"Nichiren Buddhism is a religion of challenge.
—The challenge of continuously creating, in rhythm with the Mystic Law, new value with a life force that is revitalised day after day and month after month.
—The challenge of overcoming, with the Gosho as our guide, every trial and obstacle in life, especially, the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness, and death, and helping others do the same.
—The challenge of confronting, together with our fellow members, the problems of society, and expanding our network for happiness and peace.
