-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The very basis of all our dialogue 
is nothing but the respect for others.
By inspiring each other 
to elevate 
and strengthen our life state,
let's proudly and confidently
walk together, 
throughout our lives,
along the path which leads to
everyone  becoming happy.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In Buddhism, the term 'lion king' is used as a metaphor for the great life state of the Buddha. A lion is never defeated by anything. It always wins. A lion is another name for those who are unbeatable. The words 'invincible spirit' succinctly express this magnificent life state."

The Buddhism of the Sun — Illuminating the World, (34) To My Dear Friends of the Youth Division — Part 2. (of 5), Invincible Spirit—Be Champions Who Are Never Defeated, February 2018 Daibyakurenge, translation released October 2018.
