-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Always set clear goals!
Vague, unclear targets can send you
spinning around in circles with no concrete results.
Clear, focused chanting with our goals in mind
gives us the power to make great advancements!

"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."
The Two Kinds of Faith
- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 899

"A true teacher of the Law is one who has clear insight into the nature of the times and leads the movement for kosen-rufu accordingly. A teacher of the Law is one who skilfully teaches the Law, causing waves of practice for the happiness of self and others to arise amid the vast ocean of the people…. a genuine teacher of the Law strives alongside the people for the sake of Buddhism."
