-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Once we make the decision to do something,
let's put those decisions into action right away!
When we strive for kosen-rufu,
we, at the same time, raise our spirits.
It is through faithfully practising, in accordance with the
Buddha's teachings, that we can truly experience real joy and happiness.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This I will state. Let the gods forsake me. Let all persecutions assail me.
Still I will give my life for the sake of the Law."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We shouldn't try to cover up our mistakes. The right thing to do is to make
an honest effort to rectify them. While we should sincerely reflect on our
errors, we shouldn't let them discourage us, but rather do our best so that
we don't repeat them and can make up for them."

April 21st, 2009 issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated May 26th, 2009
