-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Is there anyone around us
who may be struggling
or feels like they're in deadlock?
Let's raise high that "antenna"
Let's raise high that "antenna"
in our hearts
and listen carefully
to what they have to say!
Empathising with their pain
Empathising with their pain
can be the very best form
of encouragement.

"Before World War II, Mr. Makiguchi declared that 'the supreme essence of Buddhism is demonstrating a way of life of the highest value,'* which he called 'the way of life of great good.' He added that the purpose of our organisation is to demonstrate, study and guide others to the way for creating this supreme value—unsurpassed happiness—in our daily lives, through how we actually live."**
