Message from President Ikeda: Minneapolis Bridge Incident

August 1, 2007
Dear Members:

Today I watched on CNN the tragic incident of the Minneaspolis Bridge collapse and immediately contacted the Central Territory leaders to check on the members living in the Minneapolis area. So far we do not know of any members involved in this incident, however, our prayers go out to all those affected.  I immediately reported all the details to Sensei and he responded immediately as follows:

“I, too, watched the news and worried about the incident of the Mineapolis Bridge collapse. Thank you for your report. I’m praying for the safety of every member.
SGI (Tokyo) should also send daimoku. This must be a difficult situation but when you chant, you can definitely change poison into medicine.”

Please share this message with your members.
Thank you!

Best regards,

Danny Nagashima
