-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Now is the time!
Let's not miss out on any opportunity there is to talk with others and
to help them develop a connection with Buddhism.
It's through our voices, infused with courage,
that a new history is made.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality' (WND-1, 905). This passage expresses the benefit of those who embrace the Lotus Sutra. Nothing in society or daily life is contrary to the true aspect of life. Though our efforts may seem ordinary, because they are based on faith, they shine with the light of the Mystic Law.
'Nothing is nobler than striving to make the world a better place. There is no need to be overly concerned with the type of work one does, the size of the company one works for, or one's position in it. Those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and endeavour each day to contribute to society are following the correct path to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime.'
