-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the faith and practice
which enables us to create value.
We will never fail
to find meaning in everything we
experience and encounter,
everything helps us to make
a significant leap forwards.
Together with our fellow members
whom we share a noble struggle,
let's encourage each other,
and cheerfully and bravely
make fresh new advances!

"To change our karma, achieve human revolution and attain buddhahood in this lifetime, we need to chant with a vow to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu. This is the pivot that transforms our lives into the great lives, the great life state of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.

"To change our karma, achieve human revolution and attain buddhahood in this lifetime, we need to chant with a vow to dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu. This is the pivot that transforms our lives into the great lives, the great life state of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth.
"Specifically, it's an earnest and altruistic prayer to share Buddhism with others and help them become happy. Chant to achieve your own organisational activity targets and take action. This is the direct path to accumulating great good fortune and benefit.
"Therefore, even when we chant to overcome our own problems and worries, or to fulfil our wishes, do so with the determination that it be for the sake of kosen-rufu, to demonstrate remarkable proof of our practice. Be resolved to make it happen no matter what. It's crucial that a vow for kosen-rufu be the foundation of our prayers.
"With faith aligned with this great vow, this great purpose of Nichiren Daishonin, please stride confidently through life brimming with courage like a lion king."
