-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"When one knows the Lotus Sutra,
one understands the meaning
of all worldly affairs."*
With considerate behaviour
With considerate behaviour
and good common sense,
let's expand the solidarity
let's expand the solidarity
of good around us!
Let's all be outstanding citizens
Let's all be outstanding citizens
in daily life
and lead others by example!
* "Wise men can perceive the cause of things, as snakes know the way of snakes.. When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs." (WND-I, page 376)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No plot or conspiracy that attempts to block our efforts to realise kosen-rufu can stop the progress of the Soka Gakkai. As Nichiren Daishonin writes: "Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth" (WND – 1, 618).
