“Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith. Foolish people are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes.”

An organisation without personal interaction and connection is as good as dead. It is through heartfelt communication that an organisation is nurtured into a warm, humanistic gathering.
