"The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to win in society and in our lives, with prayer as our driving force. I would like you to become exemplary people in your communities and workplaces. I hope you will apply yourselves earnestly to your work with wisdom, effort, and perseverance. "Sincerity and a positive spirit build trust. Greeting others pleasantly, being courteous and considerate, and speaking in a way that is respectful of others are all important keys to success in life."
