-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Through one to one encouragement
that sparks people's hearts,
we help others to awaken
we help others to awaken
to their missions
as bodhisattvas of the earth.
Such inspiring encouragement
Such inspiring encouragement
with the conviction we have
in our faith and practice is,
without question,
the driving force
for advancing kosen-rufu.
Let's strive to build palaces
of capable people
in our local communities!

"'This faith is the basic requirement for entering the way of the Buddha.'
From 'The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra' (WND-1, 141).
"The daimoku of the Lotus Sutra—Nam-myoho-renge-kyo—is 'the very heart of all the eighty thousand sacred teachings of Buddhism and the eye of all the Buddhas' (WND–1, 141). Faith is the key to unlocking its boundless and immeasurable benefit.
"Those who put daimoku first are never deadlocked. They turn every problem into prayer. They transform it into a source of hope and victory and greatly expand their state of life. Even illness will not be an obstacle for them, the Daishonin declares (cf. WND–1, 412).
"Today again, let's forge ahead on the great path leading directly to the attainment of Buddhahood in this lifetime as we chant to spread the Mystic Law far and wide."
Towards a Hope-Filled Future with the Daishonin's Writings, Nothing Is an Obstacle for Those Who Put Daimoku First, translated from 15th October, 2022 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
