-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A person who has the spirit to challenge and work hard, is invincible.
The most fundamental step (towards becoming such a person) is to chant Daimoku!
Decide that you are going to win, no matter what,
and then make all out efforts in preparation.

"The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one's mind rather
than let one's mind master oneself. This is what I mean when I emphatically
urge you to give up even your body, and never begrudge even your life for
the sake of the Lotus Sutra."

(Letter to Gijo-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 390)
