-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the practice of
peach, cherry, plum and damson.
Everyone has a noble mission.
Rather than
putting pressure on oneself
by comparing ourselves
with others,
let's focus on bringing to bloom
our own unique flower of happiness,
with dignity and pride!

Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

"Those who apply themselves to chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
are strong. Second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda declared: 'We are ordinary people. But ordinary though we are, through the benefit of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we reveal the life state of Buddhahood.'"
