-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who have had to experience the most difficult of times
will definitely be able to attain the happiest of lives.
This is the very heart and spirit of Buddhism.
By practising this faith single-mindedly and honestly throughout our lives,
let's establish a state of indestructible happiness
that shines throughout the three existences of past, present and future!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Shakyamuni taught that the shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage."

(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 712)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mastering the basics, developing a solid foundation, is the key to victory. As the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) said: 'The higher a tower, the broader must be its foundation.'[1]
