-- TO MY FRIENDS --
As we live out our hectic lives,
let's be sure to set clear goals
every day,
and ground ourselves in the basics of
a Buddhist practitioner
— faith, practice and study.
It's the resolution to become an initiator
who "from my one step forwards"
that enables their workplace

"Eight years and five months have passed since the devastating March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. I am filled with profound respect for the efforts of our precious members in the Tohoku region, who continue to forge ahead tirelessly in the summer heat to accelerate the pace of recovery and renewal in their communities.
"Mr. Toda once praised the members of Tohoku's Sendai Chapter in the early days of our movement, highlighting three key points that they exemplified: (1) a passionate Soka Gakkai spirit; (2) abundant encouragement; and (3) friendly unity.
"These are unchanging guidelines for the development of our organisation."
Constructing The New Era, Calling Forth and Ever-growing Stream of Youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth. 14th August 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released September 2019.
