-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism is based on
the very highest form of common sense.
and sensibly eating the right things,
let's strive to inculcate
these measures into our daily flow of life
so we can all live vibrantly!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda began his efforts during a period when people were filled with despair and had lost all hope.
"I have no money or anything of material value, he thought. But I have the Mystic Law! I will impart the Mystic Law, the source of infinite hope, to all! I will give them the treasure of the universe, the Mystic Law. There is no greater treasure! To do that, I will summon up my courage and begin my struggle!
"Making a start is important in life. Being indecisive about whether to act or not, quickly running back to hide in the wings, is an unexciting and unfulfilling way to live. Instead, we should confidently stride out onto the stage of our mission, ready to get to work, to achieve something meaningful, and to encourage and inspire others. That's the kind of life we should lead, don't you agree?"
