-- TO MY FRIENDS --
One person's drive 

to break through their limitations 

inspires everyone's hearts
and inspires 

irresistible momentum.

The initiative we take to act,

proactively, 

becomes the driving force for
dynamic progress.

"'A person [may also give utterance to speech] to voice what one truly has in mind. Thus one's thoughts are expressed in one's voice. The mind represents the spiritual aspect, and the voice, the physical aspect. The spiritual aspect manifests itself in the physical. A person can know another's mind by listening to the voice. This is because the physical aspect reveals the spiritual aspect.'

- From 'Opening the Eyes of Wooden and Painted Images' (WND-1, 86).

"The voice does the Buddha's work. Words awaken the Buddha nature.

"The sincere words of those who have polished their lives through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo resound with compassion and conviction. They resonate deeply in people's hearts.

"Even a few simple words can become a source of boundless encouragement and strength. Praying for the peace and prosperity of our communities, let's keep making courageous efforts to forge happy, positive connections with those around us. Today again, let's use our voices and unsparingly to impart hope!"

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings {New Series}, [10] Forging Positive Connections through Our Voices, February 22nd, 2021's issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2021.
