-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"When one knows the Lotus Sutra,
one understands the meaning
of all worldly affairs."*
It's at times when
it is difficult
to foresee the future
that we advance based
on the Daishonin's writings.
Let the bright sun rise
in our hearts!

"The microbiologist Dr. René Dubos (1901–82) said: 'Crises are practically always a source of enrichment and of renewal because they encourage the search for new solutions.'*
"We can transform our karma and change poison into medicine by courageously standing up in times of crisis. This is the 'heart of a lion king' (WND-1, 302) that overflows in Soka mentors and disciples."
