--- TO MY FRIENDS ---
This Buddhism is here so that

In order therefore for us to do that,

let's polish and develop our hearts and minds
and train ourselves!

"Gongyo, which we perform morning and evening, is a joyous ceremony in which we return to the great life state of time without beginning [i.e., Buddhahood] and set forth anew with fresh energy and vitality, enfolded in the protective embrace of the heavenly deities and all Buddhas and bodhisattvas throughout the ten directions and three existences."
