-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The drama of our human revolution
starts right now, right where we are.
Through actual proof of our faith and practice
by gaining others' trust and achieving victory
in our work place and local community,
may we gain the praise that
we are diligent in carrying out our mission.*
* "Live so that all the people of Kamakura will say in your praise that Nakatsukasa Saburo Saemon-no-jo is diligent in the service of his lord, in the service of Buddhism, and in his concern for other people." (WND-I page 851)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism teaches that suffering is the springboard to enlightenment. No one is free from problems and worries—nor is any family or region.
"Life is a struggle against problems. What's important is how we solve the various sufferings and problems that weigh down on us. We need to call forth all our wisdom and make repeated efforts to overcome those problems and reach the victory that lies beyond them.
The New Human Revolution—Vol.30, Vow 98, translation released September 2018
