-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Each and every one of us
is a leading protagonist
of the kosen-rufu movement.
Through our endeavours to realise
the vow that we have made,
our courage and wisdom
shines brightly.
Let's cheerfully strive for victory
in our traditional February campaign
(to introduce others to the practice!)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Though your attempts to share Buddhism may meet with criticism stemming from peoples lack of understanding, the fact that you took action will plant roots of good fortune in your life. The key is to maintain an open heart and continue doing your best, praying that your sincerity will reach others and that you can fulfil your mission in this world as an envoy of the Buddha. All of your efforts enable others to forge a connection with Buddhism. All you need to do is joyfully share your faith.
"Both the person sharing Buddhism and the person hearing about it will receive benefit. Please remember that 'the voice carries out the work of the Buddha' (0TT, 4)."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [58] Creating a Century of Humanism in Which All Can Shine—Part 2 [0f 5], The Spirit of Sharing Buddhism Is the Spirit of the Buddha, February 2020 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released December 2020
