-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"The 'great vow' refers to the propagation of the Lotus Sutra."*
I am deeply grateful to all of our noble fellow members
for all that you have accomplished.
Let us achieve exemplary advancement
as we set our sights now at greater peaks and newer heights
towards the achievement of kosen-rufu.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The Treasure Purity World [where Many Treasures Buddha dwells and the place from which the treasure tower emerges] is the womb of our mothers.'
From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, p. 91.
"From where does the treasure tower that is our life emerge? From our mothers. Our mothers are the supremely noble Treasure Purity World. Not wishing to cause our mothers sorrow, but to bring them joy is the starting point for living a life of genuine humanity. It is the foundation for building a peaceful society that upholds the sanctity of life."
