-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The oneness of mentor and disciple
is the very heart and spirit of Buddhism.
When we advance in the same mind
When we advance in the same mind
as our mentor,
unlimited power and strength
unlimited power and strength
are brought forth from within.
It's through committing ourselves
It's through committing ourselves
to such a way of practice
that the path to happiness opens up!
that the path to happiness opens up!

"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"

"Does religion make people stronger or weaker? Does it encourage what is good or what is evil in them? Are they made wiser or less so by religion?
"Making people strong, good and wise is the essence of Nichiren Buddhism. In this age of widespread inhumanity, the need is greater than ever before for this human-centred religion.
"Everything starts from the inner transformation of the individual. As we steadily practice Nichiren Buddhism, we awaken to the dignity and worth of our lives. We tap our inherent wisdom and strength and strive to create the greatest value, contributing to the welfare and happiness of others and society. The Soka Gakkai is the organisation, building and expanding this movement of human revolution throughout the world."
