-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What makes our lives truly honourable is neither money nor
social status.
Rather, it is decided by how earnestly and sincerely we
dedicate our lives to helping those people who are
suffering or encountering hardships.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 937)
