-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Buddhist study exams are here.*
How brilliantly the lives of all of those members,
who have such great aspirations to study Buddhism just like sages,
are shining!
I am earnestly praying that all of our examinations are
held successfully and without any accidents or incidents.
I also would like to express my utmost appreciation to
everyone who has been supporting this event and helping the examinees.
*In Japan, a nationwide elementary level Buddhist examination was held today.

"You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."

"No matter what happens in the course of our lives, we can be certain of ultimate victory because of the wondrous power of the Mystic Law to 'change poison into medicine.' Therefore, no matter how painful your situation might be right now, or how sick you might be, or how others might be bullying or tormenting you, you can win in the end. You can be a victor without fail. This is the heart of the Daishonin's Buddhism. It is the purpose of our Buddhist practice. In stark contrast, all the spiteful individuals who may be giving you a hard time now will reap the negative consequences of their actions in accord with the strict law of cause and effect.
"Buddhism is about showing actual proof of victory. That's why we must keep striving wholeheartedly. Let's all lead wonderful lives!"
