-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"[When Nichiren and his followers
 recite Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,]
they are burning the firewood 
of earthly desires,
summoning up the wisdom fire 
of bodhi or enlightenment."*
The more we confront 
and deal with 
the hardships we have,
the more we can develop 
a greater state of life.
Basing our lives on chanting daimoku,
let's challenge ourselves 
with a never give up spirit!
