-- TO MY FRIENDS --
If we take a passive attitude towards things,
our true strength won't manifest itself!
Let's start each and every day
by chanting with a strong determined resolve!
Let's make up our own minds
by chanting with a strong determined resolve!
Let's make up our own minds
that we will definitely be victorious!

"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
(Flowering and Bearing Grain

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If you're shy and sensitive, that's perfectly fine. Being thick-skinned and insensitive is not a requirement for being an adult. Flowers aren't made of concrete, either; they are soft, delicate, and fragile. Those who remain sensitive to others' thoughts and feelings their whole lives are truly strong.

"Our destiny does not come from somewhere outside us; it is shaped within our own hearts, day by day. If we find life boring, it might be because we've let ourselves become boring. If life seems empty, it might be because we've allowed ourselves to grow empty and shallow. If we feel fed up with life, then life might actually be saying the same to us! We can only lead lives that match the way we live them."
