-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Small matters" are "important matters."
When we closely and carefully
look out for other people,
we cultivate in each other
a broadminded and generous spirit.
May we become "leaders"
full of compassion
who have keen insight
into people's hearts and minds!

"In matters pertaining to truth in both the sacred and secular realms, it is most important to determine what is superior and what is inferior; for persons who remain in the secular world and those who enter clerical life, one must know what is primary and what is merely secondary."
("On the Relative Superiority of the Tendai and True Word Schools",
WND-2 page 523)

"In any country or age, we will always be able to find a way forwards as long as we draw on the inexhaustible wisdom of Buddhism—the 'wisdom of the truth that functions in accordance with the changing circumstances' (OTT, 189). We will be able to work together, harmoniously amid diverse cultures and societies, and make great contributions to people's happiness, social prosperity and world peace. This is the power of our faith as practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism."
