-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"(One may) rejoice in hearing 
the voice of someone else 
rejoice in the hearing"*
Creating a chain reaction of great joy 
through spurring each other's faith,
encouraging and inspiring 
one another, 
is the driving force for 
the advancement of kosen-rufu.

*The Recitation of the "Expedient Means" 
and "Life Span" Chapters
(WND, Vol.1, page 68)
**"When we respond with joy, we cannot help sharing the Mystic Law with others, and we spontaneously begin to spread this teaching. That, in turn, leads to even more benefit. This growing circle of joy is kosen-rufu. Propagating the teaching results naturally from the joy of faith. Please always remember that joy arises when you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in earnest, and when you actively and willingly take action for kosen-rufu." 
(ref. The New Human Revolution, 
Vol.30,
Cheers of Victory chapter)
