-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Keeping our goals and targets absolutely clear
and our prayers specific,
let's now set about scaling life's loftiest peaks!
Using the strategy of the Lotus Sutra*
let's definitely realise victory.

* Gosho: "Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other. 'All others who bear you enmity or malice will likewise be wiped out.' These golden words will never prove false." The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - WND-1, page 1001.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda insisted that nothing is worse than cowardice. Each individual, he said, needs to cultivate the dignity of a lion king. And he added that if each of us isn't strong and committed to the welfare of others and society, everyone will suffer."
