-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is by overcoming challenges amidst unfavourable circumstances
and achieving victories and successes in difficult situations
that we can establish an indestructible foundation that will last for all
eternity.
Let's use all our wisdom and reach out to everyone,
both favourable and unfavourable,
so that they can see and understand
and be readily supportive of our movement.

"As practise progresses and understanding grows, the three
obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying
with one another to interfere... One should be neither
influenced nor frightened by them."

Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 24th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Norman Cousins (1915-90), an American journalist and peace activist, who
later went on to become a medical school professor dedicated to exploring
the mind-body connection in health and healing, is an unforgettable
friend...
"Dr. Cousins wrote: 'The greatest force in the human body is the natural
drive of the body to heal itself--but that force is not independent of the
belief system [of the human being]' which can translate expectations into
physiological change. Nothing is more wondrous about the fifteen billion
neurons in the human brain than their ability to convert thoughts, hopes,
ideas, and attitudes into chemical substances. Everything begins, therefore,
with belief. What we believe is the most powerful option of all [with
regards to healing].' Belief is the origin of all things, and the ultimate
form of belief is faith in the Mystic Law."
