-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude
to our uncrowned "heroes and heroines"*
who steadily walk along the path of their noble missions,
undeterred by snow or storms!
Please take every precaution you can.
We are all constantly praying for your good health and safety!

"In the eighth volume of Great Concentration and Insight and in the eighth volume of The Annotations on "Great Concentration and Insight" it says, "The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods." This means that the protection of the gods depends on the strength of one's faith."

(General Stone Tiger - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 953)

"Academic background isn't what matters; it's the spirit of wanting to learn that counts. The lack of such a desire is a serious shortcoming."
