-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The wise will rejoice while
the foolish will retreat."*
By challenging
By challenging
the trials and hardships we face
our life state unfolds immeasurably.
Let's all perform
Let's all perform
a triumphant dance
of our human revolution!
*"Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."

"The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."

"Quoting from 'On Reprimanding Hachiman,' which contains the teaching of the westward transmission of Buddhism, Mr. Toda called on us to realise worldwide kosen-rufu. On the subject of spreading the Mystic Law in the Latter Day, the Daishonin says: 'Now… it is even more appropriate that such teachings [the teachings of the Lotus Sutra] be propagated.... [H]ow can one fail to propagate them?' (WND–2, 931).
