--TO MY FRIENDS--
To the families and their family members
who open their homes as
meeting places,
let's always express our appreciation
meeting places,
let's always express our appreciation
from the bottom of our hearts
for their kindness
and show our consideration
and show our consideration
for their residences!
Once meetings are over,
Once meetings are over,
do all the correct things like
turning off all the appliances we've used,
tidying up the place, etc.,
let's carefully look after
let's carefully look after
and protect these castles
that help us to raise
such unique and capable people!

"'In the light of the Buddha's prophecy, "the last five hundred year period" has already begun. I say that without fail Buddhism will arise and flow forth from the east, from the land of Japan.'
- From 'On the Buddha's Prophecy' (WND-1, 401).
"Through the dedicated efforts and united commitment of our members everywhere, Nichiren Daishonin's predictions of the westward transmission of Buddhism and worldwide kosen-rufu have become a reality.
"Knowing that he risked persecution, the Daishonin nevertheless went ahead and publicly proclaimed his teaching (on April 28, 1253), for the sake of peace and happiness of all humankind. He is surely praising us most highly.
"Our shared journey to spread the Mystic Law will continue without cease. Let's always strive together in harmony and friendship as we continue to expand our network of Bodhisattvas of the Earth into the eternal future of the Latter Day of the Law."
Advancing with the Gosho (2), [67] Actualising the Daishonin's Vision, 25th April 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019.
