-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For all of those members who are struggling against
sickness and disease,
never ever give up!
"No prayers will go unanswered."*
By sincerely chanting daimoku with this conviction,
let's fill our hearts with strong life force!
*"If you have faith in this Gohonzon and chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo even for a short while, no prayer
will go unanswered, no offence unexpiated, no good fortune unbestowed, and all righteousness proven."
(Commentary on "The True Object of Worship" by Nichikan Shonin)

The Daishonin encourages us,

and continue to advance successfully!
