"When you shake your head, your hair sways; when your mind begins to work, your body moves. When a strong wind blows, the grass and trees can no longer remain still; when the earth shakes, the seas are atremble. Thus if one can move Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, can the grass and trees fail to respond, can the waters remain calm?"
(Concerning the Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Fashioned by Nichigen-nyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Some of you may be worried that you aren't doing as well... as you would like. Some of you may have lost your confidence, wishing you were more talented or skilled. But you should never be swayed by comparisons to others. Your true worth is not decided by others' evaluations. Each of you is a treasure tower – in other words, your life itself is an incredibly precious treasure.

"It's important to live true to yourself. Other people are other people; you are you. Be your own person. No matter what happens, as long as you continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can make your life shine limitlessly in your own unique way as a magnificent treasure tower that is as vast as the universe and at one with the Mystic Law."
