-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's read good books
to deepen our perspective,
thus cultivating a wise eye
to discern the true nature
of the world around us.
Let's become
"leaders" for kosen-rufu
with a shining character and insight!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The real value of a religion is found in how it explains life and illuminates its eternity.
"In one of his writings, the Daishonin says of the non-Buddhist teachings of the day: 'In fact they are no more than infants who cannot understand the principles of cause and effect' (WND-1, 223). Buddhism excels in that it identifies the principle of cause and effect governing life throughout past, present and future as being internal rather than external. Nichiren Buddhism reveals the fundamental Law for turning the causes and effects of the past in the best, most valuable direction. It also sets forth the way for all people to build a state of indestructible happiness."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [90] A Hope-Inspiring Life Philosophy for the Real World, Discovering the Law of Cause and Effect within Our Lives, October 2022 Daibyaku Renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released August 2023.
