-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is about victory.*
Never ever be defeated!
Aiming towards the accomplishment
of our goals and targets,
with even stronger determination than ever,
let's challenge ourselves
and put forth our very best
Let's create a record of
our personal achievements!
*"Buddhism primarily concerns itself with victory or defeat" - "The Hero of the World", WND-I, page 835

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be anything other than the boundless joy of the Law? Strengthen your power of faith more than ever."
(Happiness in This World
- WND, Vol. I, page 681)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When you're facing painful challenges, that's the time to chant vigorously. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion king.
"When others are suffering and facing difficult times, I hope that you will use your voices unsparingly to encourage and praise them for their sincere efforts."
