"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."

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin strictly encourages us,
"You must not spend your lives in vain
and regret it for ten thousand years
to come."*
Let's give our all to this moment,
Let's give our all to this moment,
the moment which will never come again.
Let's all be the one who wins over
Let's all be the one who wins over
our weaknesses!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Fame and popularity are often measures of one's success as an artist. What is more important, however, is one spiritual and mental state, regardless of one's circumstances. What matters is one's philosophy and actions and what one creates.
