-- TO MY FRIENDS --

Be on your guard 

against malicious scams!

Never respond to 

out of the blue requests 

or solicitations.

Let's consult those 

whom are close to us

and whom we trust 

about any action plan,

instead of deciding things

by ourselves.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Let us each ask ourselves: 'Do I have the courage to take action for kosen-rufu? Do I have a burning passion to do so? Do I have the fighting spirit to make fresh breakthroughs, undeterred by any obstacle or challenge?'

"Kosen-rufu is the Buddha's intent and our great vow. But if we think someone else will accomplish it, someday, nothing will ever happen. The wheels of kosen-rufu start to turn only when we decide to stand up ourselves and move forwards, even if only a centimetre or a step."
