To My Friends

Daisaku Ikeda
June 24, 2023

“Anyone who teaches others even
a single phrase of the Lotus Sutra
is the envoy of the Thus Come One.”(*)
Let’s all wholeheartedly praise those who
share this Buddhism with their friends
and joyfully commence a grand march
as the Bodhisattvas of the Earth!
