-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin States:
"All people desire the stability
of the nation
and the peace of the world."*
Now is the time to expand
Now is the time to expand
the solidarity of peace
by chanting earnest daimoku,
united together in one mind,
united together in one mind,
for the happiness of all people
in the entire world!
*"There can be no doubt that all people, from the ruler on down to the general populace, rejoice in and desire the stability of the nation and the peace of the world."

"The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the 'Never Disparaging' chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being."

"The important thing is connecting with others through kindness, compassion and sincerity, and in that way gaining their trust and understanding. Only then can we inspire people to act on their own initiative.
"Don't be someone whom others agree is capable but find rather cold. It's okay to be coolheaded, but you need to have a warm heart. A Buddhist leader is one who can warmly embrace others; someone who can melt and revive people's frozen hearts."
