-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Tend quickly to friends
who are in the thick of suffering.
This is what a true Buddhist does.
Let's share this philosophy of hope
and together help them to make
a dramatic transformation by
changing poison into medicine!*
(*) The Buddhist principle that earthly desires and suffering can be transformed into benefit and enlightenment by virtue of the power of the Law.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise up from the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

"If you aim to become the best at something and work hard to achieve your aim, you can definitely make it a reality.
"And by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can bring forth the power inside you—a power that exists inside us all—that will enable you to excel at what you do."
