-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Live out your life as you are!
There is no need at all
to compare yourself with others.
Today taking one step
further forwards than yesterday
and then another tomorrow,
let's make untiring efforts
to advance one step at a time!

"The Daishonin teaches that people who have faith in and practise the Mystic Law are Buddhas. Faith in the Mystic Law is the key to unlocking the world of Buddhahood.
"What kind of a person, then, is a Buddha? What is a Buddha's way of life? Nichiren Daishonin indicates that a Buddha is one who battles and vanquishes the three obstacles and four devils while taking on the challenges of the real world. It is a life dedicated to kosen-rufu for the sake of the Mystic Law and the happiness of all people.
"The Daishonin exemplified this himself. The SGI and each and every one of you are following that same path. You are all shining Buddhas."
