-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Our seriousness and sincerity 
are noted by others 
through our promptness to respond.
Taking action with lightning speed,
let's expand 
the wave of trust and empathy!
Aiming for the glorious summit,
let's advance in enthusiastic spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(The first of the four debts is that owed to all living beings.)  Were it not for them, one would find it impossible to make the vow to save innumerable living beings.  Moreover, but for the evil people who persecute bodhisattvas, how could those bodhisattvas increase their merit?"
("The Four Debts of Gratitude", WND-l page 43)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"All of us at times in our journey of life may experience painful challenges with no end in sight, as though trapped in a long, dark tunnel. When that happens, our faith in the Mystic Law illuminates the way forward ever more brightly with the light of hope and renewal."
