To My Friends – October 20, 2023

Daisaku Ikeda

Let’s express our heartfelt appreciation
to those providing their homes and
facilities for meetings!
Let’s strictly adhere to the ending time
and refrain from talking loudly in
the vicinity, such as where we parked
our car or bicycle.
Let’s also remember to be considerate
of the neighbors.

Those who stand up with courage
for the sake of kosen-rufu brim with
“the pulsating dance of life,”
“the heartbeat of hope,” and
“the rhythm of joy.”
Let’s advance together along
the noble path of Soka!

To My Friends – October 18, 2023

Daisaku Ikeda
October 18, 2023

Based on our Buddhist practice, we
can transform everything through
our powerful, inner resolve.
Rather than lamenting over our surroundings
and environment, let’s grow and develop more
than anyone else and shine as an example
for others.
