"Chanting with a sincere and open heart brings forth strong life force. Studying Buddhism fills us with conviction and makes our inherent wisdom shine. I hope you will exert yourselves in the 'two ways of practice and study,' making your lives shine the brightest and illuminating all around you with hope and courage."
