-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's always try to challenge any of our struggles
cheerfully and with enthusiasm!
A single wave of joy calls forth tens of thousands of waves of
victory.*
Firmly united, let's enact a stirring drama
in which "the wise will rejoice."(*)
*".. rejoice in hearing the voice of someone else rejoice
in the hearing.." - "The Recitation of the 'Expedient
Means' and 'Life Span' Chapters", WND-I, page 68
**"Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person
attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles
and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will
rejoice while the foolish will retreat." - "The Three
Obstacles and Four Devils", WND-I, page 637

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it,
though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might
cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it
could never come about that the prayers of the
practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1,
page 345) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo

"As the American author and social activist Helen Keller (1880-1968) wrote:
'When once we make up our minds to do this and set out fearlessly, all
outward circumstances and limitations give way before us.'"
