-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Life is more often than not a battle against ourselves
and its because we have such challenges that
we can savour life even more!
And it's because we have problems and struggles
that we can do our human revolution.
Joyfully and strongly,
let's continue to advance and succeed!

"Without practice and study, there can be no Buddhism. You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others. Both practice and study arise from faith. Teach others to the best of your ability, even if it is only a single sentence or phrase."

- WND, Vol. I, page 386)

"To ensure a solid and secure future for kosen-rufu, it is crucial to appoint younger people to leadership positions. That will also revitalize the organization. The continued development of kosen-rufu, however, hinges to a significant extent on whether the new leaders are able to show genuine respect and appreciation for their predecessors and other older members who have made invaluable contributions.
"This means, for example, younger leaders making an effort to get to know older members in their local areas. It means meeting with them individually, listening respectfully to their experiences in working for kosen-rufu, and sincerely learning from them. Members with many years of experience in faith shine with conviction and wisdom nurtured through their Buddhist practice."
