-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion.
(What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?)"*
This is the faith and practice
that enables us to lead a
healthy and long life.
Those who are fighting sickness
with the support of their family and friends
never give up, never be defeated!
*Gosho - WND-I, page 412

"Buddhist terminology developed over long centuries of Buddhist history. But you can't expect people in cultures without that tradition to understand its true meaning. In cases like this, we need to come up with expressions that more accurately and understandably convey the intent and meaning.
"This is one of the great challenges of worldwide kosen-rufu. I am confident that this path accords with the spirit of the Daishonin, who taught the principle of progress expressed as 'bluer than the indigo itself.'"
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World Peace, Chap. 27: A Religion That Exists for People's Happiness—Part 3 of 3, 27.6 Responding Widely To the Times, Oct. 14 1990, translated from the August 2017 edition of Daibyaku Renge, translation released July 2018.
