-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo 
is fundamental to everything.
"Morning after morning 
  we rise up with the Buddha,
evening after evening 
  we lie down with the Buddha."*
By bringing forth powerful life force 
in our hearts,
let's lead each and every day 
with a victorious rhythm!

*Now Nichiren and his followers, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, are persons who "lodge in the same place as the Thus Come One." Therefore, Fu Ta-shih says in his commentary, "Morning after morning we rise up with the Buddha, evening after evening we lie down with the Buddha. Moment by moment we attain the way, moment by moment we reveal our true identity." 
(OTT, page 83)

"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."
