-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our local discussion meeting is the main stage
upon which we can expand our efforts for kosen rufu.
Let's talk about our experiences in faith with each other.
Let's share just how much we enjoy practicing this faith.
And together, by constantly praising each other's efforts,
let's advance towards further victories!

"When one comes to realise and see that each thing--the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson--in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryo, 'to include' or 'all-inclusive'."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 784, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 200)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–44) wrote: "Very often the essential is weightless. Here the essential seems to have been merely a smile. A smile is often the most essential thing. One is repaid by a smile. One is rewarded by a smile. One is animated by a smile. There are smiles that are worth giving your very life for."[1]
"When you smile at your parents, brightening the depths of their hearts, you make the cause for the start of fundamental change. A sincere smile is a kind of "switch" that puts you, your family, and your community on the track to developing a higher state of life."
