-- TO MY FRIENDS --
In order to refute false rumours,
let's present ten
convincing counterarguments!
Silence merely advocates evil.
By courageously engaging in
earnest discussion and dialogue,
let's resolutely uphold justice!

"Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a near contemporary of our founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (1871-1944), who was 10 years his junior. Tagore wrote:
'The brilliance of the sun
shines in human courage—
its rays dispelling all darkness from the earth.'*
"The sun burns without pause. Its energy is generated in its core, from where it moves unceasingly over a vast period of time to the sun's surface before finally reaching the Earth. The sun nurtures life and illuminates all things on our planet.
"Nichien Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, adopted the character for 'sun' (Jpn Nichi) as part of his name.
"He always showed utmost care and support for each person and encouraged them with words that were like the sun's life-giving rays. And he helped one person after another bring the eternal sun of their inner Buddhahood to shine forth and dispel the darkness of all forms of misery from their lives."
