-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By lighting the way for others,
we're able to light our own path.*
Let's be a light of encouragement
to those who are facing obstacles
or are suffering.
Let's take a fresh new step forwards
together!
*"If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way." -
WND Vol. 2, page 1060

"The Buddha of the true aspect of reality resides in the midst of the mud and mire of earthly desires. This refers to us living beings. Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they may be termed the Buddha of the Lotus that is the entity of the Law."
(The Emergence of the Treasure Tower chapter
- OTT, page 91)
