-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"... if you see a person who accepts and upholds this
sutra, you should rise and greet him from afar, showing
him the same respect you would a Buddha."*
Let's cherish each of our fellow members and carefully and
sincerely look after each individual,
showing them the utmost of respect.
This is the basic point from which everything starts.

"If there is a storehouse full of treasures but no key,
then it cannot be opened, and if it cannot be opened, then
the treasures inside cannot be seen."

""The Japanese painter Shoen Uemura (1875-1949). One of the few female
painters of that period, declared to the effect: "Lofty art is created by a
lofty spirit. This is true of painting, literature, and all the arts."
"Everything depends on people—on talented and able individuals. We need to
search out such capable people, give them positions of responsibility, and
foster their growth and development."
