Hopefully today we are now back on a "normal" delivery service! Our apologies if you got bombarded with 6 or 7 days worth of "To My Friends," Yahoo found all the mails and decided that we should get them all!…

--TO MY FRIENDS--
What we have to confront
is our weak mind to give up.
If we make up our minds
If we make up our minds
to accomplish the vow
that we have made,
earnestly chant daimoku
earnestly chant daimoku
and take action,
a path is certain to open up!
a path is certain to open up!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' the Daishonin portrays the key ingredients for genuine dialogue. That is, starting with honestly confronting the issues of our world with our contemporaries and listening sincerely to their thoughts and opinions; exercising tolerance and remaining calm in the face of disagreement; and believing in the inherent Buddha nature of others while presenting our own beliefs in a polite and reasonable manner.

"The 'friendships of the orchid room' (cf.WND –1, 23) that are born from such dialogues are a powerful force for creating peace and security in our communities and the world at large."
