-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be careful not to be
the cause of a traffic accident!
Absolutely do not let yourself
fall into dangerous habits
such as speeding
or "distracted driving."
Act with safety first,
eliminate all negligence
and possibility of error!

When the skies are clear, the ground is illuminated. Similarly, when one knows the Lotus Sutra, one understands the meaning of all worldly affairs.

"Time is nothing other than the mystic rhythm of cosmic life. Hence, when we chant and spread the Mystic Law, our lives will accord with the time and time will be on our side. They will be adorned with happiness and victory throughout the four seasons.
"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, declared with powerful resolve: 'I, Nichiren, conscious of the age we live in, now wish to give wide propagation to this doctrine [of the Three Great Secret Laws]' (WND–2, 988).
"In 1952, seven decades ago, the year we celebrated the 700th anniversary* of the establishment of the Daishonin's teaching, we reaffirm this lion's roar. Under Mr. Toda's leadership, we embarked on a momentous drive for kosen-rufu with the shared conviction: 'Now is the time for propagating the great Law!'"
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, The Time Is Now! Let's Create a Whirlwind of Dialogue! May 24th, 2022 issue of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released August 2022.
* According to the traditional Japanese way of counting. Nichiren Daishonin established his teaching on April 28th, 1253.
