-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Discussion meetings are the 
driving force for kosen-rufu.
By learning about Buddhism 
together,
cheerfully sharing our experiences 
with everyone,
let's start anew 
with a fresh determination!
Let's expand our circle of joy 
far and wide!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The compassion and wisdom of Nichiren Buddhism shines ever brighter in times of adversity.

"Referring to Shakyamuni, the Daishonin writes: 'He was the first Buddha to appear in this Saha world of ours, which previously had not known any Buddha and he opened the eyes of all living beings' (WND –1, 170). Buddhas are defined by taking the lead to impart hope and courage in a world filled with suffering."

From Constructing The New Era, Advancing Together on Our Shared journey of Mentor and Disciple, 15th December 2020 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February, 2021
