-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"The purpose of the appearance 

in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha,
the lord of teachings, 

lies in his behaviour 

as a human being."*
Be we at home, 

work, in our local community 

or wherever we might be,
let's try to act for the sake 

of everyone around us!

It's through taking such 

thoughtful and caring actions 

that we gain the trust of others.

* "The Three Kinds of Treasure" (WND, Vol.1, page 848)
