-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"If the spirit of many in body but one in mind
prevails among the people,
they will achieve all their goals"*
Let's all be of one mind and heart,
pooling all our wisdom
so that altogether we can construct the future!

*"Many in Body, One in Mind" - WND-1, page 618

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Whether or not your prayer is answered will depend on your faith."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Everyone encounters illness at some time in their life. The important thing
is to use that experience to expand our life-state based on deep faith in
the Mystic Law. This is what enables us to attain a profound sense of
happiness and savour the joy of health on the eternal level of
life--something that those who haven't battled with illness can never know.
That's what our Buddhist practice is for. Through faith, we can ultimately
move our lives in the most positive direction, no matter what the situation.
I wish you all the best of health.
