-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The heart of Buddhism lies in
our behaviour as a human being.*
When we sincerely chant daimoku
When we sincerely chant daimoku
for the sake of the development
of our local community

and/or our work place
and take action with
the utmost of integrity,
we can show actual proof of this practice

earn people's trust
and (most of all) our surroundings flourish.

"We all battle storms of karma of some kind—be it economic hardship, unemployment, illness, family discord, or other problems. In some cases, our societies may be afflicted by war, natural disasters, or epidemics. The harsh reality of human existence is that our lives are filled with troubles.
"When our organisation began its reconstruction after World War II, many Japanese were leading lives of despair, with no hope for happiness. Our pioneer members of that time rekindled the warm, bright light of human dignity in the frozen hearts of many such desolate individuals and inspired them to bring forth the courage to start anew with pride and confidence.
"And today as well, at this very moment, our members are chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and taking action for the happiness of themselves and others, deeply wishing to encourage and help those who are suffering. While struggling with their own problems, they wholeheartedly encourage and support others, determined to leave no friend behind and to lead victorious lives together. Their spirit is synonymous with the Buddha's vast and infinite compassion, and their behaviour mirrors that of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging, who showed profound respect for everyone he met.

"Inspired by the all-encompassing compassion of Nichiren Daishonin, we are committed to spreading the respectful behaviour of Bodhisattva Never Disparaging and the Bodhisattvas of the Earth throughout our communities and societies and create a monumental groundswell toward the realisation of lasting happiness and peace for all humankind. This is the great significance of our movement for kosen-rufu-rufu."
