-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always do our very best to kindly support and encourage
our newly joined members so that every one of them,
without exception, becomes happy.
Arm in arm we advance along the path of kosen-rufu
and by developing warm heart-to-heart empathy between each other
--- a world of good fortune and benefit for all of us unfolds!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Every person has their own karma and their own tribulations, such as business failures or illness, to face in life. When these troubles afflict us, we may feel unable to deal with them and become despairing and desperate. This is a trap that can lead to creating a negative cycle toward unhappiness, which is a very frightening development.
"Buddhism enables us to break free of this negative cycle of misfortune and provides us with the indomitable strength to rise to every challenge.
"Remember, the purpose of this Buddhism is to rouse the courage to bravely face every challenge life presents, to say to yourself, 'I won't let this beat me!' 'This is an opportunity to transform my karma!'"
