-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Health is the basis of everything.
Let's maintain a good daily rhythm 
in regard to sleeping, eating, 
exercise, etc.
and at the same time 
wisely rest both 
our minds and bodies as is needed!
Let's live cheerfully and vibrantly 
each and every day!

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin continues: 'In the Latter Day of the Law, no treasure tower exists other than the figures of the men and women who embrace the Lotus Sutra" (WND–1, 299). 'Figures' here refers to people just as they are. The treasure tower does not exist apart from real people. Revealing one's inner treasure tower does not mean becoming something special or extraordinary. 'Attain' of 'attaining Buddhahood' means 'to open or reveal' (OTT, 126), says the Daishonin. We open or reveal the life state of Buddhahood that already exists within us.

"Notably, he makes the point 'whether eminent or humble, high or low' (WND–1, 299). Fame, social position, wealth—none of those things matter. Buddhism is the ultimate philosophy of respect for human beings, teaching that all people are equally noble and precious."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [76] To Our Future Division Members, the Torchbearers of Justice—Our Hope for the Future, "On the Treasure Tower"—There is No Treasure Tower Apart from Real People, August 2021 issue of Daibyakurenge, translation released June 2022
