-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our efforts to understand
and empathize with each other
strengthens the harmonious bonds

between us.
Together with our fellow members

and advance brimming with hope!

"I shared these words from 'On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime" with members at the inaugural meeting of Katsushiku General Block in September 1957, 65 years ago: 'Arouse deep faith and diligently polish your mirror [the mirror of your life] day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND–1, 4).

"At that meeting, I spoke about how to create a model organisation, reaffirming that, just as the Daishonin teaches in this passage, the key lies in doing gongyo and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. And in response to my call, everyone challenged themselves to help their fellow members develop a solid daily practice of gongyo and daimoku. Three years later, Katsushika had grown to three general blocks."
