Wherever members

that's where we need to be
that's where we need to be
right now, first and foremost!
If we hear that someone's
If we hear that someone's
experiencing hardship,
let's offer them the warmest
let's offer them the warmest
support we can!
Always with the spirit of
'many in body, one in mind',*
let's advance together in unity!

Bodhisattvas are people who work actively for world peace and the happiness of others, bringing their own lives to shine in the process.
"Bodhisattvas of the Earth are great bodhisattvas on a par with the Buddha who have chosen to be born in this evil age rife with problems and suffering. As a result, they experience the same problems and suffering as everyone. But their life state is different because they are proudly aware of their important mission.
"The Bodhisattvas of the Earth never give in to adversity. While themselves going through hardships, they encourage and support those who are struggling and live in a way that inspires hope in others. Reaching out to those around them, they convey through their personal examples the truth that we can overcome all misfortune and become happy."
