-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is important that leaders discern what the
decisive points for victory and success are.
Every single action that is apt and pertinent to each
situation we are in right now,
creates ten thousand waves for the cause of justice and truth.
Let's be the type of leaders who can take care of matters with
lightning speed.

"This passage refers to the great joy that one experiences
when one understands for the first time that one's mind
from the very beginning has been the Buddha.
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 788, The Record of the
Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 212) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The places where
you are striving tirelessly
as worthy emissaries of the Buddha
are pure lands,
Buddha lands.
"As African environmental activist and Nobel Peace laureate Wangari Maathai
notes: 'A tree has roots in the soil yet reaches to the sky.' A tree that
sends its roots deep into the earth can grow in size and strength. The same
is true of both individuals and organisations. Those who drift around like
rootless plants are swept away by the current of the times. In order to
withstand even the most powerful storms, we must sink down solid roots into
the earth of our immediate communities.
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often said: 'What
matters is being firmly grounded. If your feet aren't planted firmly on the
ground, it's all empty theory. Never lose your grounding in reality! Raise
the banner of the Mystic Law and keep your feet solidly planted in the
community. Those with strong community ties will be the victors.'"
