-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The key elements to achieving 
glorious victory are:
an inner transformation,
never give up to the very end 
and advance with joy and enthusiasm.
Together, let's write a history 
of advancing in leaps and bounds!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."

(The Two Kinds of Faith 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 899)

"Zadankai in Brazil,"
