-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Remember that it's because we encounter sufferings
that are we able to grow.
It's because of hardships that we become stronger.
Whatever the situation we might find ourselves in
lets's win through and open up a lofty life condition!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life.) This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith. Foolish men are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes."
(The Opening of the Eyes

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nothing is more crucial than knowing the right time to act. One can try a billion strategies, but if the timing is not right, one cannot succeed. In business and in life, if one errs in timing, it is bound to bring about confusion and failure."
