-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are now in that wonderful fresh season
full of beautiful lush green leaves!
It's an invigorating daily morning Gongyo and Daimoku
that sets the rhythm and pace for the entire day!
Coupled with basing our lives on a reasonable
and well-balanced rhythm
we can really lead a healthy and accident/incident free existence!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
(Words are what give expression to the distinctions that are thought of in the mind. Therefore, outside of the mind there are neither distinctions nor the absence of distinctions.) Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice."
(The Unanimous Declarations by the Buddha - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 843)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"...in the evil world of the Latter Day, the supreme Law of Buddhism for the enlightenment of all people is brought to life through the existence and the actions of the votary of the Lotus Sutra. Stated another way, Buddhism truly resides in the life of a person who strives with selfless dedication for the genuine happiness of humanity.
"Actively involving oneself with people and their welfare is the first step to restoring the original intent of Buddhism that is the heart of the Daishonin's religious revolution."
