-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"Iron, when heated in the flames
and pounded,
becomes a fine sword."*
Against any adversity
becomes a fine sword."*
Against any adversity
that may confront us,
let's stick to
let's stick to
the unrelenting practice of this faith.
This is how we can win in life
This is how we can win in life
and shine
as a champion of the people.

"Since I have realised that only the Lotus Sutra teaches the attainment of Buddhahood by women, and that only the Lotus is the sutra of true requital for repaying the kindness of our mother, in order to repay my debt to my mother, I have vowed to enable all women to chant the daimoku of this sutra."

"Embracing faith in the Mystic Law, we align our lives with the wondrous rhythm of the universe. Year after year, accumulating 'treasures of the heart' (WND–1, 851), we awaken many others to their mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth and help them blossom in beautiful diversity as human flowers, our movement growing and expanding without end. There is no more fortunate or fulfilling way to live one's life."
