-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"The more one praises the blessings
of the Lotus Sutra,
the more one's own blessings
will increase."*
Let's praise each other from the heart
for all our dedicated and hard-fought
efforts for the sake of kosen-rufu.
As the SGI family,
let's advance in harmony!
*"The more gold is heated in the flames, the brighter will be its colour; the more a sword is whetted, the sharper it will become. And the more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings will increase." - WND-I, page 673
