-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Today yet again let's try to visit one more home.
Today yet again let's try to encourage one more person.
It's by steadily striving each day to encourage someone
by visiting them and engaging in one-on-one conversations,
that the flow of kosen-rufu grows into a mighty river!

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Why do we encounter difficulties in the course of our Buddhist practice? Because they help us gain the eternal life state of Buddhahood. By surmounting such difficulties, we can impart hope and courage to others who are struggling in this troubled world in which we live, telling them: 'Even when faced with such an obstacle, I wasn't beaten. I managed to endure and win out in the end.' Therefore, please take on challenges without fear or hesitation. Be determined to win with confidence and composure."
