(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 235)

"We practise the Mystic Law, chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo ourselves and teaching others to do the same. As such, our lives are one with the life of Nichiren Daishonin.
"Chanting resonant daimoku enables us to overcome illness and lead long, healthy lives. It allows us to transform any karma into our mission and establish a state of boundless happiness that will endure forever.
"Let us show actual proof in the form of absolute victory, activating the protective forces of the universe and vanquishing even the most powerful enemies that seek to obstruct our practice."
SGI Newsletter No. 9142, The Fearless Lion's Roar of Daimoku, from the January edition of the Daibyaku Renge editorial, translation released 16th Dec., 2014
