-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Respect one another as
(we would a Buddha)."*
From the bottom of hearts
let's respect our fellow members
and praise each other's
and praise each other's
dedicated efforts
for the sake of kosen-rufu.
Furthermore, let's share
these beautiful Soka Family bonds
we have with our local community
and society!
*"Even an ignorant person can obtain blessings by serving someone who expounds the Lotus Sutra. No matter if they are a demon or an animal, if someone proclaims even a single verse or phrase of the Lotus Sutra, you must respect them as you would the Buddha. This is what the sutra means when it says, 'You should rise and greet them from afar, showing them the same respect you would a Buddha.' You should respect one another as Shakyamuni and Many Treasures did at the ceremony in the 'Treasure Tower" chapter.'"
