-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who make efforts to take care of their parents are truly great.
Let us smile to let our parents know
how much we appreciate what they have done for us!
The essence of our Buddhist practice
shines through our genuine and heartfelt behavior.

"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"
(In the Continent of Jambudvipa - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 1062)

"The Russian author Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) cherished these words from the classic Chinese work Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu: "A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth. A journey of a thousand miles starts in front of your feet." The starting point for any great achievement is always close at hand, right in front of us."
