-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is you, 
having weathered 
the storms of life,
that is the most noble treasured 
respect worthy person.
Your friends, family, and everyone 
who were/have been there
to walk with you during 
all the hard times
are indeed the true champions 
of the heart!
It's absolutely certain 
that your lives 
will be eternally adorned with 
the spring blossom of happiness!

"This passage refers to the great joy that one experiences when one understands for the first time that one's mind from the very beginning has been a Buddha. Nam myoho-renge-kyo is the greatest of all joys."

(The Essential Passage in Each of the Twenty-eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, Prophecy of Enlightenment for Five Hundred Disciples chapter.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
" The Nepal poet Laxmi Prasad Devkota.(1909-59) wrote:

'Where are your friends? Who go with you? Which land is your home?
What place do you seek. Traveler? With what news do you roam?'
'My friend is decent diligence. Courage comes with me. The whole world's my home. To heart-land a roam with hues of humanity.'*

"Let us, too, in scaling the peak of our personal mission, take courage as our companion. With the vast spirit to regard the entire world as our home, let's spend our days serving humanity in our own unique way."

Unforgettable Journeys, Nepal—Hope is a Treasure of Life, from the November 20th, 2020 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.
