"I am as concerned about the illness of your wife, the lay nun Toki, as though it were I myself who is ailing, and day and night I pray to the heavenly gods that she will recover. She has supported the votary of the Lotus Sutra just as she has supplied oil to the lamps, or piled earth around the roots of the trees. I am beseeching the gods of the sun and moon that they will guard her life even at the cost of their own!"

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everyone has unexplored fields
within themselves.
Let's dare to take the first step
towards challenging ourselves
and confronting our weak points.
The potential of human beings
is absolutely limitless!
