-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let us always put our experiences in faith into words
that we can share with children!
Human feelings and emotions emanate from one heart and move another.
Let's together grow and advance greatly this summer!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You and I have been born together in this defiled age of the Latter Day of the Law, in the country of Japan in the southern continent of Jambudvipa, and with the utmost reverence we chant with our mouths Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the ultimate reason for which the Buddhas appear in the world; we believe in it in our hearts, embrace it with our bodies, and delight in it with our hands. Has all of this not come about solely because of some bond of karma we share from the past?"
