-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin promises,
"Those who now believe
in the Lotus Sutra
will gather fortune from
ten thousand miles away."*
Those who have the heart
Those who have the heart
to carry through
with strong faith in the Mystic Law,
shine with immeasurable
good fortune and benefit.
Let's strive together
to transform our local community
into a kingdom of happiness!

"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin says:
'[With regard to the phrase "to roar the lion's roar" (Japanese - sa shishi ku):] the first shi [which means "teacher"] of the word shishi, or "lion," is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child" or "disciple"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The [lion's] "roar" (ku) is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison. (cf..OTT, 111)'
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with faith based on the spirit of the oneness of mentor and disciple is the true lion's roar in Nichiren Buddhism. It enables us to give free play to the immeasurable wisdom and power we inherently possess."
