-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A truly courageous person is someone
who conquers their fears
and continues to advance no matter what.
The Daishonin asserts,
"Not once have I thought of retreat."*
Having such unyielding determination,
let's unlock our limitless potential!
*Gosho - WND-II, page 465

"In Mr. Makiguchi's copy of the Daishonin's writings, he penned the question: 'What is the mark of a genuine practitioner?'
"One conclusion he came to after deeply pondering this was: 'There is no such thing as a self-centred Buddha who only accumulates personal benefit and does not work for the well-being of others. Unless we carry out bodhisattva practice, we cannot attain Buddahood."
The Eternal Citadel of Soka, Pursuing the Great Way of Practice and Study, from 10th June 2018 issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released Aug. 2018
