-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all our youth and youthful spirited,
never be discouraged, never lose heart,
no matter what your circumstances might be.
Those who uphold this faith and practice,
throughout their lives,
will most certainly, at the end of the day, be victorious!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Even in this scene of grief, there were those who declared angrily that the enemies of the Lotus Sutra should have their tongues cut out, that they should never be allowed to sit with the others in the assembly. Bodhisattva Kashyapa vowed that he would appear in the form of frost and hail in the lands of the enemies of the Lotus Sutra."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
