-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The ability to overcome the fear of failure
is a true asset towards growth and success.
Instead of moping about or
complaining about what happened in the past
let's lead wiser and stronger lives
by looking ahead and advancing courageously!

" A passage in the Six Pāramitās Sutra says to become the master of your mind rather than let your mind master you. Whatever trouble occurs, regard it as no more than a dream, and think only of the Lotus Sutra."
(Letter to the Brothers - WND, Vol. I, page 502)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who praise their fellow members will build lives of boundless good fortune as indestructible as the Himalayas, king of all mountain ranges.
"The Daishonin also writes: 'The more one praises the blessings of the Lotus Sutra, the more one's own blessings will increase. Bear in mind that the twenty-eight chapters of the Lotus Sutra contain only a few passages elucidating the truth, but a great many words of praise' (WND-1, 673).
"Let's start by offering words of praise. All of us are human and bound to experience ups and downs in our moods and emotions from time to time. But as leaders, let's always make a point of starting off by warmly greeting everyone and expressing our appreciation for their efforts. Doing so lifts not only others' hearts but also our own, spreading joy and increasing benefit for everyone."
