-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's embark upon the challenge of undergoing our human revolution
beginning first of all with chanting!
By chanting powerful, sonorous Daimoku,
let's align ourselves with the great power and rhythm of the universe,
and open up a life of consistent victory.

"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard
both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens. How could this be
anything other than the boundless joy of the Law?"
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 681). Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 21st, 2013

"A life lived on a grand scale has problems on a grand scale. And problems on a grand scale are what enable us to expand our life-state on a grand scale.
"Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910), the renowned Russian author and spiritual giant, said that whenever he encountered an impasse, he would remind himself of his purpose in life. By always returning to his starting point in this way, he was able to look calmly on his problems and overcome them. His conclusion was: 'When people awaken to their true mission in life, they can solve any problem they have.'"
