-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The more we "polish"
our hearts and minds,
-- the more brilliantly they shine.
Believing in all our potential,
let's "diligently polish
Believing in all our potential,
let's "diligently polish
our mirror day and night"*
by continually chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo!
*Gosho: "This is similar to a tarnished mirror** that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality. Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo." (WND-1, page 4)

** If you have time, using a search engine, have a look at mirrors of the Kamakura period! You'll be surprised! And what it took to polish them!
