-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism concerns itself with victory or defeat.
Those who emerge victorious (from challenging adversities)
will certainly accumulate great benefit and good fortune for all eternity.
Courageously putting our faith into action,
let's stand up on our own two feet.
And by carefully making sure to have ironclad unity between us all,
let's be absolutely victorious!

"A hundred years of practise in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to
the benefit gained from one day's practise in the impure world."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Expressions of gratitude can be looked upon as evidence of a person's way
of life and philosophy. Those who do not allow themselves to become
self-centred, who realise that every positive accomplishment is in part due
to the support of others, naturally feel gratitude for the assistance they
have received. In contrast, self-centred people who take the efforts of
others for granted do not feel appreciative. They're always filled with
complaints and dissatisfaction.
"Friendship is deepened by feeling grateful for another's support,
expressing that feeling to others, and trying to reciprocate that support in
some way."
