The path that we made a vow to take is the path for
justice, the path of courage, and the path towards
absolute victory.
Let's all advance along this great path cheefully and in
high spirits!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I know your faith has always been admirable, but now you
must strengthen it more than ever. Only then will the ten
demon daughters lend you even greater protection. You
need not seek far for an example. Everyone in Japan, from
the sovereign on down to the common people, without
exception has tried to do me harm, but I have survived
until this day. You should realize that this is because,
although I am alone, I have firm faith."
(The Supremacy of the Law - The Writings of Nichiren

lead undefeated lives."
