-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What is it that is causing
my friends to worry?
What can I do that would help
them to become happy?
Even when using our imagination
and intuition our faith shines through
Let's be people who have
magnanimously sincere hearts.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
If one does not touch the sleeping lion, one will suffer no anger. If one does not plant the pole in the stream, one will raise no waves. And if one does not reproach those who slander the Law, one will undergo no hardship.
(On the Nation's Slander of the Law
- WND-2, page 1025)
