-- TO MY FRIENDS --
May you be a person of integrity
May you be a person with earnest commitment
May your sincerity shine for all to see.
And may you be like an accomplished conductor
spurring your friends on, moving their hearts
and filling them with hope!

"Ah, how rare it is to encounter the Buddhist Law! It is as rare as to see the blossom of the udumbara or for a one-eyed turtle to find a floating sandalwood log with a hollow of just the right size to hold him. Nay, these cannot suffice to describe the difficulty of encountering the Mystic Law"
(Twenty-six Admonitions of Nikko Shonin - Gosho Zenshu, Page 1617. English translation source: Lecture by late SGI UK General Director, Richard Causton.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) said: 'When you try to do something of virtue, you will always have enemies.... The envy of others will doubtless strike at you.' He also said: 'The infamous persecution you have undergone will increase your fame.'
"It is a historical inevitability that champions of freedom and human rights are persecuted by corrupt and tyrannical authorities."
