-- TO MY FRIENDS --
People who are quietly working hard
but earnestly for the sake of kosen-rufu
even if no one seems to see their efforts
are the ones who deserve the highest respect!
Let's together express our appreciation

- From 'On the Treasure Tower'
(WND-1, 299-300)
"[This passage is addressed to Abutsu-bo and his wife, the lay nun Sennichi, who lived on Sado Island.] Each of us who bases our lives on the Mystic Law is the treasure tower, and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will transform where we are into the 'dwelling place of the treasure tower.'
"The precious members of our organisation's various local groups—such as the Community, Housing Complex, Farming and Fishing and Outlying Islands divisions—are sincerely expanding friendship and trust based on their vow to make their beloved communities into realms of happiness. They are present day Abutsu-bos and Sennichi's of the Soka Gakkai.
"The courageous and persevering efforts by the members of our Soka family to send hope and encouragement to their communities is a source of hope for building treasure realms of eternally tranquil light everywhere."
Advancing with the Gosho (2), [42] Transforming Our Communities into Realms of Happiness, from 15th Nov. 2018 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released January 2019
