-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Life is a constant struggle 
with worries, concerns and troubles.
The more hardships we encounter,
the more opportunity we have 
to elevate our life condition.
Let's challenge ourselves 
with indomitable and untiring perseverance
and overcome the weak mind within ourselves!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The doctrine of three thousand realms in a single moment of life I have revealed in all its purity in the great mandala. It is a doctrine that the scholars of the present age, lacking comprehension in such matters, cannot fathom even in their dreams. T'ien-t'ai, Miao-lo, and Dengyō pondered it in their minds but did not spread it abroad."

(The Oral Tradition regarding the Enlightenment of Plants 
- WND, Vol. 2, page 430)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Just as the flow of the eternal Ganges began from a single drop of water, our movement grew from dedicated individuals and small groups of people initiating efforts for kosen-rufu in the countries and communities in which they lived. Though tiny, that 'single drop' they each represent is by no means ineffectual or insignificant. It is like 'the single drop of dew that spells the start of the great ocean' (WND-1, 672). In addition, the life of each individual involved in that effort possesses infinite, supremely noble potential. As the Daishonin writes: 'It is like the water of the great ocean, a single drop of which contains water from all the countless streams and rivers' (WND-1, 69).
