-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We practice the Buddhism
that enables us to win in any
and all kinds of challenges,
no matter what!
Let's boldly take on any obstacle
that might confront us with vigour
and leave enduring proof of our victories
that inspire and are looked up to
by future generations!

"With regard to the Lotus Sutra, when one's hand takes it up, that hand immediately attains Buddhahood, and when one's mouth chants it, that mouth is itself a Buddha ... if there are a hundred or a thousand people who uphold this sutra, without a single exception all one hundred or one thousand of them will become Buddhas."
(Wu-lung and I-lung
- WND, Vol. 1, page 1099)
