-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"The best way
to attain Buddhahood is to
encounter a good friend."*
A good friend that we can
A good friend that we can
consult with about
anything and everything is a
priceless treasure in our lives.
With our precious fellow members,
let's advance together!

"In a letter to one of his disciples struggling amid the harsh challenges of society, the Daishonin expresses absolute confidence in his abilities and encourages him: 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province. It is stated that "the seeds of Buddhahood sprout through causation" [LSOC2, 75]' (cf.WND-1, 1117).

"Buddhism does not exist somewhere apart from the place of our mission, the place where we are right now.
"...We chant wholeheartedly to spread the Mystic Law in our communities, actively meet with others and bring forth wisdom to find ways to contribute to society. Our sincere and unflagging efforts to spread Nichiren Buddhism are sewing the seeds of Buddhahood in the hearts of members and non-members alike."
June Editorial, We Are Sowing the Seeds of Buddhahood, from the June 2018 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released June 2018
