-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To our friends who are struggling 
with challenges at work,
it's when we are in the midst 
of hardship(s) that
it's important to employ 
"the strategy of the Lotus Sutra"*.
Gathering up 
our courage and wisdom,
let's demonstrate 
actual proof of victory in our lives, 
no matter what!

*  "The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra,"

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair. This is where you will cross the Uji River.  This is where you will ford the Seta. This will determine whether you win honour or disgrace your name."

("Reply to Yasaburo," WND-l page 829)
