-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The strong resolve of a general who declares -
"We are definitely going to win!"
creates a strong and clear momentum towards victory.
Let us make the opening dash towards our goals
one that will create a big impact and set the pace for us to move forward!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We were all born to become happy, to succeed in life, and to bring happiness to others. But the challenge we all face is to overcome the various karmic hindrances and sufferings that prevent us from achieving those things. It is the supreme power of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the Mystic Law, that enables us to attain genuine happiness and victory in life. It allow us to rise above even the deepest sorrow, to break through even the darkest despair. The Daishonin fully revealed the teaching of the Mystic Law and made it available to all humankind. "
