-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's make sure to express how much we appreciate our fellow members',
friends' and family's
kind support and understanding,
even if it's just a few words or so.
When we are able to have heart-to-heart communication,
everyone feels happier and advances even more
enthusiastically and energetically.

voice."

regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to Be Abandoned
and Which Upheld", WND-II, page 843

and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their
teachers,' cannot be false in any way."

striven to show my appreciation and repay the kindness and support I have
received from others. And I have done the same to my parents."
