-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The great power of the Buddha
lies within our very own lives.
Let's make a fresh departure, beginning with daimoku.
Aligning our spirits - our hearts and minds - with each other,
let us create a glorious history together!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Some think of Buddhist practice as retreating to a quiet place and leading a life of calm and contemplation, but you should know that from its earliest origins Buddhism was a philosophy of practice, of living and energetically engaging with others in dialogue.
"Buddhism is a teaching for helping all living beings, and especially the people who are suffering the most. Therefore, study needs to be rooted in daily life and serve as a guide for action. Study becomes a revitalising force when it provides assurance and self-confidence in the power to overcome life's difficulties and tribulations."
