-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin says,
"One's thoughts are expressed
in one's voice."*
The words we put our whole heart
The words we put our whole heart
into saying
with earnest daimoku
with earnest daimoku
for our friend's happiness
will never fail to reach their heart.
Our voice has power!
will never fail to reach their heart.
Our voice has power!

"Children are envoys from the future. To speak with children is to speak with the future. Their problems will be different from those of our generation—they may face problems we can't even begin to imagine. Therefore, let us support them and lend them a helping hand, so that they may stand up and move forwards with courage.

"Let us tell our children: 'To witness evil and yet stand silently by is to be an ally to evil. Failure to do good yields the same result as doing bad. Each time you overlook evil, you allow another malicious weed to take root. To exclude others is violence. To ignore, disregard or be apathetic towards injustice is also violence.'"
