Never forget your beginner’s

heart.

Cleanliness

“Gassho Rei.”

PURITY

By not doing evil, I purify myself. Purity and impurity

comes from within and others cannot purify my heart.

STRENGTH

I am my own refuge and source of strength. On whom

may I rely if not myself.

DISCIPLINE

With self wisely disciplined, I find a truly rare and

precious fountain of strength.

Mindful that our spirits come from dharma and our bodies from our parents,

we acknowledge our debts and express our gratitude by applying ourselves

to the full.
