-- TO MY FRIENDS --
With sincere and caring hearts for others,
let's become the type of people whom
others can feel,
"When I see that person, I feel at ease."
To lift our friend's spirits
is one of the noblest actions
that we can take as a Buddhist.
*removing suffering and giving joy -

"From a mundane view, I am the poorest person in Japan, but in the light of Buddhism, I am the wealthiest person in all Jambudvīpa. When I consider that this is all because the time is right, I am overwhelmed with joy and cannot restrain my tears. It is impossible to repay my debt of gratitude to Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings."

"Nichiren Buddhism is a teaching that brings people together. Of course, the path of bringing people together is filled with difficulties and challenges. But we will never give up. Through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day and reaching out to others with words of wisdom, sincerity and compassion—words of truth—we will continue to make efforts to transcend all differences and bring people together, one by one."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, A Tribute to Seikyo Newspaper, April 13th 2018 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2018
