-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's absolutely certain that
we can overcome any and all 
unexpected harsh trials,
just as the Buddhist principle of 
changing poison into medicine expounds!
The purpose of our life and this faith is
for all of us to become happy.
Let's together indomitably chant daimoku 
for nobody to be defeated 
and for everyone to achieve happiness!
