-- TO MY FRIENDS --
(Hearing from a believer whose infant daughter was seriously ill,
Nichiren Daishonin encourages both parents by saying:)
"What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"*
Believing in these words completely,
let us chant powerfully, with the force of a roaring lion
and completely defeat the devil of sickness!
Absolutely never give in, never lose hope!
"Gosho: Reply to Kyo'o - WND-1, page 412, "Believe in this mandala with all your heart. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion. What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?"
