-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Summer, 

the time to challenge ourselves 

and make progress.

Let's tackle 

what we are not so good at 

and/or try our hand 

at something new!

Taking one step forwards,

with firm resolve,

is the key to the door 

to unleashing our potential!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Our personal attainment of Buddhahood in this lifetime and the essence of human revolution, Mr. Toda explained, lie in battling the three obstacles and four devils, defeating the workings of fundamental ignorance within our hearts and forging ahead bravely and vigourously. Our grassroots Buddhist movement seeks to help people awaken to the infinite potential and power they and others possess, become strong and wise and work together as agents of change for human happiness and the betterment of society."
