-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Nothing is more certain than actual proof."*
There is no eloquence that is more convincing
than someone's actual experience.
Let's share with everyone, with enthusiasm,
what has impressed us
about practising this Buddhism!
Let's hold vibrant discussion meetings
where each and every one of us
plays a main role!

"Nichiren Buddhism also teaches the importance of standing up with self-reliant faith and showing respect towards others while not being swayed by any kind of obstacle or opposition we may face. This is the second characteristic of the Buddhism of the people that I wish to highlight."
