-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Thank you" are words
that spread cheerful smiles
and bring hope.
Let's make a special effort
to share words of appreciation
with those that are close by
such as in our family,
neighbourhood and workplace!

If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people, they will achieve all their goals, whereas if one in body but different in mind, they can achieve nothing remarkable.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our members strive to realise the Buddha's intent, tap their Buddhahood to challenge and overcome difficulties and work to create an ever growing treasure land of hope and security, happiness and peace.
"Today, members everywhere are engaged in the noble task of elevating the life state of humanity by bringing forth their 'greater selves' — that is, their true power as Bodhisattvas of the Earth—and embracing their 'greater mission' – the great vow to realise kosen-rufu and the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'
"This is proof that they are 'casting off the transient and revealing the true' in their own lives, by living true to their vow and solidifying their unwavering resolve never to be defeated by any obstacle. As more and more people do so, spreading ripples of unsurpassed joy that will inspire and motivate others to strive alongside us, so will our movement for worldwide kosen-rufu develop and grow."
