--TO MY FRIENDS-
Even a small task is fine to start with.
To accomplish something,
that's what builds
unshakable self confidence.
Trying to visualise our future self,
let's again today
Trying to visualise our future self,
let's again today
take another important step forwards.

"There is a key line in the Daishonin's treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land': 'Let us discuss the question at length' (WND – 1, 7). The host is inviting his guest to engage in a dialogue with him. The Daishonin always highly valued one-on-one dialogue. The treaties itself is structured as a dialogue between the host and his guest. This writing is the starting point for peace. It is said that Nichiren Buddhism begins and ends with 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land.' And dialogue is the backbone of this important work. It is through one-on-one dialogue that individuals form bonds of genuine trust. Neither military force nor political coalition hold any answers."
