-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our fellow members in Shikoku*
who are striving
for the cause of justice and truth,
your unshakable resolution
for the sake of kosen-rufu
is shining brilliantly in Shikoku
– The Land of Aspiration!
Now once again,
let's strike the bell
that sounds the dawn
of victory and glory
loud and wide!

* Shikoku is the 4th largest island of Japan in the south west of Japan. "Shikoku" basically means "four provinces." It has one of the smallest populations and is often a forgotten area.

"The place where the person upholds and honours the Lotus Sutra is the 'place of practice' to which the person proceeds. It is not that he leaves his present place and goes to some other place."

"When we determine to work for kosen-rufu where we are, our attitude towards the people we encounter and to whom we are connected changes. As our prayers deepen, we see a change in them as well as in our circumstances. If we avoid practising in this way, the place where we are will never become the true stage of our mission."
