-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Being new to the practice
new members bring to us all
unprecedented
fresh, new abilities and ideas.
Let's always respect and praise
them for their efforts!
Let's create a garden
in the area we live in,
which is filled with dedicated
capable people
where everyone can blossom
with their own unique
"cherry, plum, peach and damson"*
flowers (elucidating the unique
diversity and beauty
of all living entities)!

"There are many people who set their hearts on enlightenment, but only a few who continue their practice and in fact attain the true way. The aspiration for enlightenment in common mortals is often hindered by evil influences and easily swayed by circumstances"

"Plum blossoms are the first to flower in the cold winds of winter. A single blossom, flowering fragrantly, signals that spring is on its way.
"You, too, may experience times that seem like cold winters. But when you summon your courage and challenge yourself, you can bring flowers of invincible spirit to bloom. Then, a bright spring will unfold from where you are.
"You have the wonderful practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, which is the best way to draw forth your inner strength and potential to the fullest.
"Nichiren Daishonin states: 'Winter always turns to spring' (WND–1, 536)."
