-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Mystic Law is the law of
changing poison into medicine.*
Don't be defeated! Never ever give up!
Let's take everything as a great opportunity to grow
and determine that no matter what happens
we will be victorious at the end of the day!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means 'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The 'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disicples chanting in unison. The verb sa, 'to make' or 'to roar,' should here be understood to mean to initiate or to put forth. It refers to the initiating of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law."
