-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"I am praying ... as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood.."*
With the strong determination that absolutely nothing
will stand in your way,
you can smash through even bedrock like obstacles.
Be determined to win and challenge what you are facing,
right now, and win!
*"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
