-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Driving under the influence of alcohol or
talking or texting on a cell phone while driving
is an absolute "NO" under any circumstances.
Let's drive safely by following the laws and regulations.
It's when we slacken in our attention,
due to carelessness, overconfidence or exhaustion,
that devils (negative functions) take advantage
(and obstruct the path to happiness).

"And if the mind of faith is perfect, then the water of wisdom, the great impartial wisdom, will never dry up."

"Everyone can eventually become happy with the Gohonzon. It doesn't matter whether they've fallen from the path, or have remained true. In the end, everyone can achieve happiness. This is the Daishonin's infinitely profound compassion.

"Everyone can eventually become happy with the Gohonzon. It doesn't matter whether they've fallen from the path, or have remained true. In the end, everyone can achieve happiness. This is the Daishonin's infinitely profound compassion.
"Being judged by other people—that's trivial. But nothing is more terrifying than being judged by the Gohonzon. We humans can be reckless sometimes, and only strict judgment can help us regain our senses. All that matters is never letting go of the Gohonzon, for as long as we live."
