-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A "mission" is not something
we are charged with doing
nor is it something we are given,
it is something that we ourselves
have chosen to do
and so pursue of our own free will.
By exerting ourselves to fulfil such a mission
with unrelenting effort and perseverance,
let's be victorious in our lives!

"The provinces we live in are far apart, and months and years have passed, so I was concerned that you might slacken in your resolve. However, you are increasingly demonstrating the depth of your faith and accumulating good deeds. Surely this is not a result of practice over just one or two previous lifetimes."
("Reply to the Lay Priest of Ko", WND-1, page 491)

"No fact speaks louder than transforming our life circumstances. No proof is more powerful than changing our destiny.
"Just as our founding president Tsunesaburo Makiguchi insightfully observed, Buddhism is a teaching for living. It gives us the strength to navigate the rough waters of life. It is the path leading to supreme happiness.
