To be victorious is the way to attain true happiness.
Stand up as the most trusted disciples!

"From this single element of mind spring all the various lands and environmental conditions."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"You may think this is overdoing it, but if an accident were to happen because you missed something, it would be too late. Eyes that notice the littlest things can prevent the biggest accidents.
"To prevent accidents, everyone should consider the matter carefully, decide on a basic roster of things that need to be checked, and then follow it assiduously. For example, the conductors on Japanese trains always carry out a series of checks before departure. Meticulously repeating that routine each time is the key to protecting their riders' safety.
"Once a routine is set, it needs to be carried out faithfully, without skipping or ignoring any part of it. If you allow it to become a mere formality and lose your focus, carelessness will follow. That's the most dangerous thing."
"As the German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) said: 'Habit can be dangerous.'"
