-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Full of confidence,
let's share this Buddhism
that enables everyone
that enables everyone
to attain true happiness
with as many people as we can.
By being more determined than ever
to fulfil the vow that we made
with as many people as we can.
By being more determined than ever
to fulfil the vow that we made
for the sake of kosen-rufu,
may our voices ring
may our voices ring
with courage and hope,
inside our friends' hearts!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda once encouraged a person with financial troubles, telling him humorously: 'You will soon become happy! There's nothing to worry about. It's certain. The benefits you gain through serving the Buddha are immense.. When you need them, those benefits will come pouring forth. It's just like a tap. The tap (of benefit) is usually kept turned off, so that you don't fritter away your money! But when you need some, all you have to do is turn on the tap. In this way, you'll come to enjoy a life overflowing with benefits.'"
