-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The voice of justice and truth
is what defeats lies and misinformation.
To stay silent is to assist such evil.
In engaging in dialogue on behalf of
establishing the correct teaching for the land,
let's spread hope and energise society!

"Why were we born? What is the purpose of our lives? It is the role of religion to provide clear answers to these ultimate questions.
"Nichiren Buddhism is a compass giving us direction to navigate our way on the great ocean of life. It is a life philosophy that aims for the realisation of happiness for oneself and others. It reveals the way to attain a boundless life state of eternity, joy, true self and purity. It teaches that we can achieve a peaceful and harmonious society through the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' It asserts that we can tap potential as vast as the universe based on the principle of 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life.' And it explains that all people are equal and can shine in their own unique way based on the principle of 'cherry, plum, peach and damson' (cf. OTT, 200).
"The wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism enables us to endlessly deepen and enrich our lives."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, June 2018 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
