-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The important point
to putting Buddhism into practice
is to chant and take action
for the happiness of oneself and others.
By reaching out to encourage others
and spreading a sense of ease
throughout our local communities,
we're able to create peace
throughout the world.

"'Your visit from the first to the fourth day of the third month was a great comfort to me. The illness that has made me so thin seemed to go away and I felt fit enough [even to catch a tiger]. And thanks to your gift of wakame,* I think I could even ride a lion.'
-From 'On Three Seating Mats'
(WND-2, 991)
"The writings of Nichiren Daishonin shine with supreme humanity.
"Responding to sincerity with sincerity encourages and energises others. This is the heart of the realm of human harmony that our Soka family has built in accord with the spirit of the Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law.
"Let's always respect one another as Buddhas, warmly supporting and encouraging each other, as we advance our movement for kosen-rufu. Let's forge ahead with such vibrant energy that we feel we could 'catch a tiger' or 'ride a lion!'"
Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [24] Sincere interactions Are a Source of Vitality, translated from 1st May, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2021.
