-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The accumulation of
small efforts and challenges
helps to develop the greater self.
"Let me try again!"
"Let me give it another 5 more minutes!"
With such an attitude,
let's try to exceed our own limitations
by knocking down each challenge
one by one!

"And yet, 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 in 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)
