THURSDAY, April 19th, 2007 -- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is no strategy that surpasses the strategy of the Lotus Sutra. So that we can guide even those people who are opposed to our activities or who obstruct our advancement to become people who are understanding and supportive of our movement, let's sincerely and seriously chant daimoku, and take the type of action that will open up paths. Determinedly and with absolute earnestness, let's take courageous action towards great victories!

"If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practice."

"Nichiren Daishonin started his struggle for kosen-rufu with his call for the establishment of the correct teaching for the peace of the land. This means planting the seeds of a correct philosophy of life in people's hearts in order to realize a peaceful and prosperous society. The focus on bettering society that is at the heart of this principle is a basic requirement of humanistic religion."
