-- TO MY FRIENDS --
By chanting daimoku "as earnestly as though to produce fire
from damp wood,"*
let's challenge the obstacles within ourselves that,
up until now, we have thought impossible to overcome!
Let's summon up even more courage than ever and develop new
relations with as many people as we can.
*"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may
become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will
protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to
produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
- "On Rebuking Slander of the Law and
Eradicating Sins", WND-I, page 444

"This means that anyone who teaches others even a single
phrase of the Lotus Sutra is the envoy of the Thus Come
One, whether that person be priest or layman, nun or laywoman."
