-- TO MY FRIENDS –
When we joyfully
and vigorously
exert ourselves in
our faith and practice,
"flowers" of
good fortune and benefit
are certain to bloom.
Let's never lose
our heart of appreciation,
and show victorious proof
in our lives
by continuously putting
our gratitude into practice!

"All of you possess great qualities and talents. But you must never lose sight of one thing, faith, and never give up your Buddhist practice.
"Fundamental issues of human destiny, happiness and life and death cannot be resolved solely through science, politics or economics. Only Nichiren Buddhism, which explains the ultimate Law of the universe, enables us to resolve them and achieve lives of indestructible happiness.
"Please engrave these words of the Daishonin in your hearts and follow the great path of kosen-rufu until the very end: 'Whether tempted by good or threatened by evil, if one casts aside the Lotus Sutra, one destines oneself for [a life-state of] hell' (WND–1, 280)."
