-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
To chant for the sake of our friend's happiness 
and share our personal experiences 
of faith and practice with them.
This is exactly what 
the sacred noble Buddha's work is all about.
Cheerfully, 
and with strong conviction,
let's plant the seeds of Buddhahood 
in the future lives of as many
people as we can!

*"Many of the practitioners from Sado Province have made the long journey all the way to this place, and that is why I have expounded for them the teaching that I am propagating now, which will become the seed of Buddhahood in their future lives as well." - WND-2, page 534
