-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Only by defeating
a powerful enemy
can one prove one's real strength."*
Through courageously challenging
our weaknesses,
we are able to open wide
the path to victory.
Let's strive to break through
those self-built "walls"
that impede us!
* "Letter from Sado,"

"People's minds are easily swayed, and it is difficult to see where things are headed in troubled times. If, however, we ground ourselves on a great teaching, we can bring forth tremendous power. It all comes down to the teaching we follow. But without someone to convey such a teaching, Buddhism would not exist."
