-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The philosophy of Buddhism is based on the spirit of "compassion"
and putting such a spirit into practise takes courage.
Let's boldly and enthusiastically engage in conversations
with as many people as we can,
and by doing so help them to establish a connection with Buddhism.

"..if in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a "diligent" practice."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 790, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 214) Selection source: "Shomin no O-ja", Seikyo Shimbun, October 1st, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other' (WND-1, 1001), this simply means employing plans and implementing actions based on faith, based on our Buddhist practice. No other kind of plans or actions can surpass these. Therefore, we have no need to fret or worry."
