-- TO MY FRIENDS --
I encourage all of our young people
to use every opportunity to take on
all kinds of challenges.
Without understanding the hearts of others,
we cannot become first class individuals.
By training ourselves through
experiencing various trials and tribulations,
may we all become champions of humanity
with unshakable strength just like Mt. Fuji!

"Though I may be a person of little ability, I have reverently given myself to the study of the Mahayana. A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."
