-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's cherish 
  the present moment
and approach each task

setting out to accomplish each one, 
one by one!
Such steady steps lay the way 
to glorious victory!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"... the Buddha's mind found expression as the written words of the Lotus Sutra. These written words are the Buddha's mind in a different form. Therefore, those who read the Lotus Sutra must not regard it as consisting of mere written words, for those words are in themselves the Buddha's mind."
