Let's lead a proper rhythmical life
based on the Buddhist principle
of "faith equals daily life."
Let's win by being in the best of health,
doing a sonorous
morning and evening gongyo,
eating a healthy balanced diet
and getting a good night's sleep
morning and evening gongyo,
eating a healthy balanced diet
and getting a good night's sleep

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parchedground."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It is because each of us is different that dialogue enables us to create fresh value and make new discoveries. Dialogue serves as a mirror, enabling us to see others as well as ourselves. It enables us to break through the shell of our ego and expand our state of life.
"Of course, in today's troubled and complex world, dialogue does not automatically lead to understanding. It's not that simple. What is clear, however, is that there can be no understanding without dialogue. To base one's position on assumptions and preconceptions, without even attempting to meet and talk, needlessly furthers misunderstanding and hostility. What untold suffering this kind of arrogance has inflicted on humanity!"
The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 3: Kosen-rufu and World Peace, Chapter 28: Peace, Culture and Education: The Flowering of a New Humanism, 28.24 Choosing Dialogue, Peace Proposal titled "Towards a New Era of Dialogue: Humanism Explored," 30th SGI Day, Jan. 26th, 2005, from the December 2017 issue of the Daibyaku Renge, translation released June 2019.
