-- TO MY FRIENDS --
There is nobody
who does not possess courage.
All we are doing, or not doing
is tapping into it!
Instead of listing up the excuses
let's begin by taking action
and gradually show the hero
we truly are!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I have heard a deeply moving report of a 107-year-old 'mother of kosen-rufu' attending a discussion meeting. Members at the meeting listened intently to each and every word of this great senior in life. As she reached the end of her talk, someone asked her about her hopes for young people.
"Looking at a young women's division member—who could easily have been one of her great grandchildren—seated directly in front of her, the elderly woman slowly stood up and bowed to her, once, twice and then a third time. She didn't use words; she made her actions speak for her.
"Youth possess limitless potential. They have the power to shoulder the future. We need to sincerely show our respect for their noble lives. This is the perspective of Buddhism and the fundamental spirit for fostering capable individuals."
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Forging Our Lives on the Path of Mentor and Disciple, August 23rd 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released September 2019
