-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Buddhism,
the philosophy of the dignity of life
and respect for all people,
shines especially in times of
crisis and chaos.
Let's cast aside
any sense of defeat or resignation
and together open up a path
to a radiant future!

The Great Teacher Miao-lo stated, "The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods."* So long as one maintains firm faith, one is certain to receive the great protection of the gods.

* Protective gods, tutelary gods, guardian gods and so on. Gods who protect the correct Buddhist teaching and its votaries. These gods also work to protect the people and their land and bring fortune to both. "Heavenly gods and benevolent deities" is a generic term for Brahma, Shakra, the four heavenly kings and other deities.
