-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When it comes to encouraging someone, the most important thing
is to deeply and empathetically listen to what they have a problem about.
When people feel that "there is someone who understands"
it becomes a source of great reassurance and impetus
to help them advance and eventually overcome their hardship.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we
do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course
attain Buddhahood."
