-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It's at times
when we feel there's no way forwards,
that it's time to seek the advice
of friends and seniors!
The world of Soka is
a safe place/
a place we can feel at ease in
where we can transform
whatever sufferings we might have
into hope.

If in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a "diligent" practice.
