-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For the sake of building a land of peace
and happiness in our communities,
burning with the spirit
to achieve kosen-rufu,
let's help as many people as possible
to connect with Buddhism!
Together let's strive to realise
an ideal and most noble way of living,

"'Even more valuable than reason and documentary proof is the proof of actual fact' (WND –1, 599), writes the Daishonin, because showing 'clearly visible proof'—that is, actual proof of the power of our Buddhist faith and practice—is the most persuasive and convincing argument there is. Actual experience has great power."
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, Inspiring Others by Showing Actual Proof of the Power of Faith, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
