-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Life is an ongoing battle
against problems.
True happiness is experienced
when we have the frame of mind
to never be defeated.
And the roots for such a spirit
lies in our chanting daimoku!
Let's live powerfully,
joyfully and cheerfully!

"Just as poisonous compounds are changed into medicine, so these five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo change evil into good. The Spring of Jewels is so called because, in this spring, stones are changed into jewels. In the same way, these five characters can change ordinary human beings into Buddhas."
(White Horses and White Swans
- WND, Vol.. 1, page 1064)
