-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Using the powers of our imagination
and intuition
-- in caring about and being
considerate of others
is the first step to understanding
people's problems and
empathising with their sufferings.
When we do so,
the state of our own lives broadens
and, at the same time, elevates.
With such sincere caring behaviour,
With such sincere caring behaviour,
let's build a symbiotic society full of
people's heartfelt actions!

"'There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon and the way in which summer, autumn, winter and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood.'

"'There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon and the way in which summer, autumn, winter and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood.'
– From "The Three Obstacles and Four Devils" (WND-1,637)
"In the course of life, we face unexpected difficulties that make us wonder, "Why me?" "Why now?" But the most challenging times are crucial moments, opportunities for doing our human revolution.
"The tougher our circumstances, the more we need to chant the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and continue forging ahead with courage. By doing so, we will accumulate solid good fortune and expand our life state.
"Turning everything into a springboard for attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime is the way of wise practitioners in Nichiren Buddhism."
Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [27] Challenging Times are Opportunities for Human Revolution, translated from 13th May, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021
