-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism teaches us to
substitute faith for wisdom
(for enlightenment).*
When we stand and make strong faith
the foundation of our lives,
boundless wisdom for
victory and success wells forth.
Let's lead each and everyday creating value
towards the expansion of kosen-rufu!
*substituting faith for wisdom［以信代慧」-

"Working for the happiness of ourselves and others should start with repaying our debt of gratitude to those closest to us, our parents. This is the first step in achieving our own great human revolution.
"These are increasingly difficult times, however. Some people no doubt face complex situations in which they find it hard to love or be good to their parents. But there's no need to let this be a source of anxiety. Some may only come to appreciate their parents when they become parents themselves. Others may start out by loving or caring for someone else and through that experience, learn to accept and have compassion for their parents.
"The most important thing is to carry out your human revolution. Just continue steadily striving to transform your life state, and become a person who can compassionately embrace and illuminate everyone in your life like the sun."
