-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"(I say this for your sake. I know your faith has always
been admirable,) but now you must strengthen it more than
ever."*
With burning enthusiasm to fulfil the vow that we have made,
let us blaze a path of truth and justice!

"It has been twenty or more years now since I found myself
in that situation and began the great battle. Not once
have I thought of retreat."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It was in the month of June--in 1994, 15 years ago this year--that I received an
honorary doctorate from Scotland's renowned University of Glasgow. It was a very
solemn ceremony, and I'll never forget how, during his remarks, Dr. J. Forbes Munro,
the then university Clerk of Senate, read aloud my poem, 'The Waterfall':
Like the waterfall, fierce,
like the waterfall, unflagging,
like the waterfall, unfearing,
like the waterfall, merrily,
like the waterfall, proudly--
a man should have the bearing of a king.
"With the royal bearing of champions described in this poem, may you be the kind of
people whom others praise as having made a difference--for instance, whose presence
helped them move their lives in a positive direction, or was vital in the success of
an activity, or was pivotal in building a more solid organisation."
