-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Nichiren Daishonin teaches,
"... you have come to
owe a debt of gratitude
to all living beings.
And since this is so,
And since this is so,
you should help all of them
to attain Buddhahood."*
Meeting with numerous people
Meeting with numerous people
and having conversations
full of joy and enthusiasm,
let's spread happiness
by helping as many people
as possible
to form a connection
to form a connection
with Buddhism!
*"Third is the debt of gratitude to be paid to all living beings. If you stop to consider, you will realise that, at one time or another in the past, all men have been your father and all women, your mother. Thus, in the course of all the many lifetimes and existences you have lived through, you have come to owe a debt of gratitude to all living beings. And since this is so, you should help all of them to attain Buddhahood."
