-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Depending on whether we feel
we are being made to do something,
or we have made the determination
to initiate something ourselves
— this subtle difference in our mind state
greatly changes the outcome.
With both joy and courage,
let's advance along the path towards
fulfilling our very own unique missions!

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well' (WND-1, 385; 'The True Aspect of All Phenomena').
"In accord with this principle of bodhisattvas 'emerging from the earth' described by the Daishonin, let us joyfully strive even harder to call forth and awaken an ever-growing stream of young people through heartfelt encouragement."
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.
