-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No matter how fiercely the rough seas of society
threaten to overwhelm you, never ever give up!
Have confidence and believe in your strengths and abilities..
As long as you've determined never to give up hope,
the path before you will most certainly open up!

"The place where the person upholds and honours the Lotus Sutra is the 'place of practice' to which the person proceeds. It is not that he leaves his present place and goes to some other place."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 781, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 192)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"This inner sun exists within the lives of all people. In a letter to Nichigen-nyo, the wife of Shijo Kingo, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'The sun breaks through the pitch-black dark,' and 'The Lotus Sutra is [like] the sun' (WND-1, 315). No matter how great our problems, the moment we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, in accord with the principle of the simultaneity of cause and effect, the sun of the Mystic Law rises in our hearts and the power of the Buddha surges forth from within us.
"Consequently, there is no way that you...will end up unhappy. The more problems you have to chant about and the more hardships you have to challenge, the more you can develop and grow."
