-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Maintaining a healthy life, at all costs, is vital.
Careful monitoring of our health
will give rise to many of our greatest victories.
Let's advance each and every day wisely,
without falling prey to carelessness and negligence!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

(Flowering and Bearing Grain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 909)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra: '[Like the lion] the mentor roars; but then it is up to the disciples to roar in response. The mentor patiently waits, observing his disciples.'[1]

"The mentor watches and waits with anticipation for even one individual to stand up, for a disciple who will initiate a struggle cherishing the same spirit and determination as he does."
