-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's take the time out to listen
to what our children
and grand children have to say.
Let's try to share with them
the pulsating spirit of our faith.
Creating a harmonious family
is the surest and direct way
to bringing about peace.

"In his treaties 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' Nichiren Daishonin writes:
'You must quickly reform the tenents that you hold in your heart and embrace the one true vehicle, the single good doctrine (of the Lotus Sutra.) If you do so, then the threefold world will become the Buddha land, and how could a Buddha land ever decline? The regions in the ten directions will all become treasure realms, and how could a treasure realm ever suffer harm? (WND-1, 25)
"Under the invincible banner of peace, of the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land,' let us continue our work to forge and spread a spiritual solidarity among people around the world, transcending all differences."
Raise the Banner of Brilliant Achievement and Open the Way to a Peaceful Future, from the January edition of the Daibyakurenge, January 2018, translation released February 2018.
