"Teaching the essence of faith to a disciple who was struggling with illness, Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'One day of life is more valuable than all the treasures of the major world system…. [M]oreover you have encountered the Lotus Sutra. If you live even one day longer, you can accumulate that much more benefit' (WND-1, 955).
"No matter what difficulties may arise, we have nothing to fear. When faced with a critical challenge, that is when we should chant daimoku with even stronger determination until we win through.
"It is important that we chant bravely and vigorously, exert ourselves with the strength and courage of charging lions, and advance in the united spirit of 'many in body, one in mind.'"
