-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Buddhism is a compass
for how to live our lives.
Let's study its philosophy
and grow together!
Let's advance along the path
of happiness and victory
through embracing
the ultimate philosophy of all
in our hearts!

"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."
( Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain
- WND, Vol. 1, page 598)

"There may be circumstances in which some of you find it difficult to show kindness and appreciation to your parents. But please don't worry. It can be a lifelong, or even eternal, process. Your feelings of gratitude will communicate to your parents without fail.
"Moreover, you are all able to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Always remember that your daimoku reaches the lives of your deceased family members as well."
Building a Bright Future Based on our Vow - Exploring the life of Nanjo Tokimitsu, [3] Being Good to Our Parents is the Path of Human Revolution, 1st June 2018, issue of the Future Journal, translation released July 2019
