-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is it that I need
to accomplish now?
Through chanting resonant daimoku,
let's make the targets we set
for ourselves each day
absolutely clear!
By taking realistic concrete steps
towards our goals,
let's courageously continue
to win and advance!

(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain

"Quietly carrying out the tasks we have set for ourselves day after day, never straying from the path of kosen-rufu, moving forwards like the sun's unchanging course in the sky—herein lies true success in life and victory in kosen-rufu."
