-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"Both oneself and others
together will take joy
in their possession of
wisdom and compassion."*
Everyone possesses the wellspring
of boundless compassion within their lives.
And it springs forth
when we practice this Buddhism.
*OTT, page 146

"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

- WND, Vol. 1, page 217)

"No matter what tragic events occur or how bleak things become, we can definitely create a better world and future.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds' (WND – 1, 4).
"The endeavour to make society and the future brighter, more joyful and brim with hope, begins in our own hearts and minds."
On the Wings of Your Dreams, from the May 1st, 2017, issue of the Future Journal. Translation released June 2018.
