-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Setting the pace by being victorious in the morning
let's embark upon the challenge of our human revolution.
A sonorous, resonant gongyo and daimoku
is a power house of abundant life force
welling from within our being.
Let's start each day
Let's start each day
with truly dynamic momentum!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, one can't know everything about someone simply by meeting them. But unless we meet others, we'll never get to know them at all. Everything depends on whether or not you can take that first courageous step.
"You may know people that you have difficulty getting along with or who seem to go against your nature. What you need to do in such cases is open your heart to them in a sincere, positive spirit.
"…Your sincere prayers for the happiness of another will eventually reach their heart, even if not right away.
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice' (WND-2, 843)."
