-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Lotus Sutra is the teaching that enables us to become generals*
who are ever victorious and never defeated.
When we keep the Gohonzon in the centre of our lives and unite joyfully with each
other,**
there is absolutely no obstacle that we cannot overcome!
* The heart of strategy and swordsmanship derives from the Mystic Law. Have profound
faith. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered. (Gosho - The Strategy of the
Lotus Sutra, WND-1, Page 1001)
** King Chou of Yin led seven hundred thousand soldiers into battle against King Wu
of Chou and his eight hundred men. Yet King Chou's army lost because of disunity
while King Wu's men defeated him because of perfect unity. Even an individual at
cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure. Yet a hundred or even a
thousand people can definitely attain their goal, if they are of one mind.
(Gosho - Many in Body, One in Mind, WND -1, Page 618)

"If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people, they will
achieve all their goals, whereas if one in body but different in mind, they can
achieve nothing remarkable."
(Many in Body, One in Mind - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 618)
