-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all those who are entering the workforce for the first time
remember that victory or defeat is decided in the morning!
I hope that you will be like a fresh spring breeze,
gaining the trust of others through your vibrant cheerful greetings.

"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"
(Reply to Kyo'o - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 412)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin describes Hei no Saemon, who was the main instigator of the persecutions directed against him, as one of his 'best allies in attaining Buddhahood' (WND-1, 770). Referring to this comment, Mr. Toda declared: 'Never fear enemies! Their onslaughts are all just swirling dark winds that help us perfect ourselves and attain Buddhahood.'

"Whatever others may say, let us keep striving to carry on the mission of the Buddha, reaching out to those who are troubled and suffering and guiding them to genuine happiness."
