"Let us always take the time to admire things such as a beautiful moon and to converse with friends.
"Even if your reality seems dark and bleak, as long as you have the hope-filled light of the moon shining in your heart, you won't be defeated. As Nichiren Daishonin states: 'For those who have profound faith, it is as though a full moon were illuminating the night' (WND-1, 94).
"Nothing is more powerful than prayer."
