* Some of the team will be moving back to Tokyo tomorrow so there maybe some serious delays of 24 to 48 hours before the next TMF. Our apologies.
A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's chanting daimoku earnestly
each and every day
that enables us to break through
any negative habits or inertia
we might feel we have!
Practising this Buddhism
enables us to develop
and cultivate ourselves
without any limitations.
Brimming with refreshed spirits,
let's cheerfully live out this day!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Children following their parents' lead and younger members repeating the words of older members may, from one perspective, seem like a fine example of inheriting tradition. And it is, of course, true that the fundamental spirit of Nichiren Buddhism and of faith in the Mystic Law is eternal and unchanging. The times, however, are constantly changing. Society is in a state of rapid transformation. The world is endlessly diverse, and real people are endlessly complex and subtle. Reaching another's heart is no easy feat.
"In response to such human diversity and the rapidly changing times, we need to be able to bring forth abundant wisdom to lead others to enlightenment and realise kosen-rufu. Such wisdom is also an expression of compassion."
