-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism expounds the principle of 
"cherry, plum, peach, the damson"*.
where every person develops 
in their own way at a different pace,
and possesses the potential for making 
their own unique "flower" bloom.
Therefore, let's strive to cheerfully 
encourage and help others
to develop their strengths and potential!

Each of you is a noble individual with a circle of friends that only you can connect to Buddhism….. I am praying with the hope that you will stand up and take action for kosen-rufu without fail."
