-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Fellow members
of the great Kanto area,
rouse yourselves into action!
The Daishonin states,
"(The greater the hardships befalling him,)
the greater the delight he feels,
because of his strong faith."*
Our proud daring spirit in Kanto
has always been based on our tenacious
chanting and actions

(*)"A Ship to Cross the Sea of Suffering," WND I, p. 33
