-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To practice this Buddhism means
to take the initiative of our own accord.
By spontaneously devoting ourselves
to activities,
the greater the joy there is
to be experienced.
Together,
let's strive in the two ways
of practice and study!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dreaming about what life might be like if only you didn't have any problems is just an escape from reality into a fantasy realm. It only leads to defeat in life. People who are always making positive efforts, thinking about how to overcome each problem and transform it into a source of value and victory are the winners in life.
"Your resolve determines your life. I hope you will all be great actors in your own dramas of victory, brilliantly proving this truth, and be people who encourage and impart self-confidence to everyone around you.."
The New Human Revolution—Vol. 30, Vow 98, translation released September 2018
