-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The essence of our Buddhist practice
lies in the pledge made between mentor and disciple.
Those who remember this resolve and resolutely uphold it,
throughout their lives, are eternal victors.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda said: 'True greatness means that, even if you forget what you've done for others, you never forget what others have done for you and always do your utmost to repay your debts of gratitude. Therein shines the light of Buddhism. Such people radiate integrity, depth of character, generosity, and charm.'
"This, too, is the conclusion at which I have arrived after more than 60 years of Buddhist practice. I have seen many different people—people who have lived lives of gratitude, people who have been ingrates. Those who have a sense of appreciation and gratitude are loved and trusted by everyone and lead lives of tremendous fulfillment and satisfaction. Based on the Daishonin's teachings, it is clear that the inner radiance of those who embody true gratitude will imbue their lives with indestructible good fortune and benefit throughout the three existences."
