-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's follow through with our resolutions with unrelenting strong belief.
No paths open for people who try to live on pretence or show.
Let's boldly and courageously advance along the road of victory!

--- 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)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 13, 2013

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we initiate dialogue with the courage to recognise and accept others' differences, new horizons will open up before us. This has been the spirit with which I have engaged in dialogues with leading thinkers around the world.

"We must learn from the differences that make each of us unique, and even make them a source of value creation. In our world today, where people often misinterpret self-indulgence for freedom, and pleasure for happiness, and see differences as a cause for discrimination, it is necessary for us to reconsider what we want our children to learn from differences."
