-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Fellow members
in the great Chubu area,
who are resolutely advancing
along "the path" of the vow
to achieve kosen-rufu!
Let's demonstrate to one and all
our undefeatable strength
like that of a castle stronghold,
which can shake into action
even the protective forces
of the universe!
(*)"Kono Michi no Uta" (This Path) is a Gakkai song of the Chubu Region.

"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up."

"In a letter addressed to Nanjo Tokimitsu dated January 11th, 1280, the Daishonin writes: 'Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes' (WND – 1, 1013).
"Buddhism is reason.
"We are exerting ourselves earnestly day after day in Buddhist practice and study—for the sake of Buddhism, the welfare of others and kosen-rufu."
