-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To sincerely and earnestly chant 
 for the happiness of our friends
  and for our voices to resonate 
   with conviction — 
    this is the essence of dialogue!
With everyone we have 
  the opportunity to meet and talk with,
   let's converse frankly and freely 
    and try to cultivate 
     good solid friendships with them 
       in a spirited and refreshing manner!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Through our prayers, efforts, dialogues and behaviour, let us joyfully and freely sow the seeds of Buddhahood and strive to enrich the hearts of people everywhere.

"Encouragement
is the voice of happiness
connecting people to Buddhism.
With a dauntless smile,
sow the seeds for victory."
