-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The lion kings who roar for the sake of justice,
have absolutely nothing to fear!
The "crucial moment" is right now.*
Patiently and courageously,
let's win no matter how difficult the challenge!
*"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith.
"Foolish men are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes." - "The Opening of the Eyes", WND-I, page 283

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"You don't need social standing or fortunate material circumstances to help others or work for kosen-rufu. On the contrary, truly admirable are those who strive for the welfare of others and dedicate themselves to advancing kosen-rufu, even when facing the most daunting personal challenges. Such people are truly noble Buddhas. They will definitely be able to bring beautiful flowers of happiness to bloom for both themselves and others, wherever they are."
