“Since living is believing, no one can be completely lacking in faith.”

“Some nonreligious people are disgruntled by the word "faith," feeling that it has no connection to them. But we all have faith. Broadly speaking, "faith" does not apply only to belief in the supernatural. We have faith in our life, for example, believing we will live to see tomorrow, or in our health, believing we have years of healthy life ahead of us. Husbands and wives, parents and children have faith in one another.”

“Amida's unimpeded light is the sun of wisdom that destroys the mind of darkness.(Preface in Teaching, Practice, Faith, Enlightenment)”

“What each of us believes in is up to us, but life is impossible without believing in something.”

“Living in a world such as this is like dancing on a live volcano.”

“Unless you progress a step or a half-step more than yesterday, you haven't really lived today.”

“How wonderful it would be if people did all they could for one other without seeking anything in return! One should never remember a kindness done, and never forget a kindness received.”
