-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who are sweating
behind the scenes 
in order to help other people 
become happy are truly noble and admirable.
For the such caring and considerate actions 
that they take for the sake of their families, 
relatives and community,
let's offer them the most heartfelt words 
of appreciation!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs" (WND –1, 376). This passage is from ('The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind," which Nichiren Daishonin completed on Sado Island on April 25th, 1273.

"We have struggled courageously amid challenging times in accord with the Daishonin's teachings and caused a brilliant sun of hope to rise. Illuminating our communities and the future with that light, we are realising the Daishonin's ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.' The Daishonin would surely praise our efforts."

Our Brilliant Human Revolution, A "Struggle of Words" Dedicated to Creating a More Peaceful World. April 26th, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019
