Nichiren Daishonin states,

  “You have come to owe a debt of 

  gratitude to all living beings. And 

  since this is so, you should help 

  all of them to attain Buddhahood.”(*)

Let’s meet with many people and 

  joyfully and courageously engage 

  them in dialogue, expanding

  connections to Buddhism and

  happiness.
