-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be careful of traffic accidents!
Exceeding the recommended
speed limit,
using our mobile phones
or otherwise being distracted
while driving are things
we must not do.
Above all else,
drinking and driving is inexcusable.
We must strictly fight against
such a negligent
couldn't care less attitude!

"'Because one has heard the Lotus Sutra, which leads to Buddhahood, with this as the seed, one will invariably become a Buddha.'
- From 'Those Initially Aspiring to the Way (WND –1, 882).
"Nichiren Buddhism is the Buddhism of sowing. Our mission, therefore, is to sow the seeds of Buddhahood in peoples lives. Even if someone doesn't start practising right away, the seeds we have planted in their life will someday definitely blossom. We can make that time come through the power of our prayer.
"The more we speak to others about Buddhism with sincerity and conviction, the more we can help them form a connection to the Mystic Law, bringing good fortune and benefit to ourselves and others. Such efforts also forge ties of genuine and lasting trust.
"So again today, let us reach out to others in dialogue with courage and confidence and sow the seeds of happiness in their hearts!"
From Advance with the Gosho (2), (36) Sharing Buddhism with Courage and Confidence, translated from Seikyo Newspaper Sep. 29th, 2018, translation released October 2018.
