-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"By chanting daimoku,
there is no obstacle
we cannot break through."
This is the conviction
of our comrades in the
Taho (Many Treasures) Group,
who have overcome all types of
gales and snowstorms.
Let's advance with a heart
of eternal youth
together with our amazing seniors
of the Mystic Law!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We are never for a moment separate from the life state of Buddhahood. It is always with us, present in us and one with us. The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings says: 'The Buddha nature and the Buddha body are both none other than the bodies and minds that constitute living beings" (0TT, 236). Therefore, we will invariably attain a life condition in which we can freely employ the wisdom, power and courage of the Buddha."
