-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Realising a world free
of nuclear weapons
is the legacy of President Toda,
and our vow.
We must be aware of our role
as protagonists in creating history
and take unified action
to change the course
of this tumultuous era,
starting right where we are!

Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Cherish it deep in one's heart" (WND-1, 33) means to continue, day after day, to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and teach others to do the same. Just as the colour of cloth dyed in indigo grows more vivid with each immersion in the dye, the repeated practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo imbues our lives with Buddhahood, as suggested by the metaphor 'from the indigo, an even deeper blue.' By devoting ourselves to the basics of faith, practice and study, the Lotus Sutra permeates and enriches our lives."
