-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Aiming at the highest peak of our individual possibilities,
let's unceasingly continue to make our ascent!
Faith means to have a constant challenging spirit,
to be fearless
and to always try to take action to improve ourselves.

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer -The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol 1, page 345)

"Because we live in a troubled age, we may face unanticipated challenges. The Daishonin assures us, however, in a letter he wrote on hearing that young Kyo'o had fallen ill: 'Misfortune will change into fortune. Muster your faith, and pray to this Gohonzon. Then what is there that cannot be achieved?' (WND-1, 412).
"Summoning courageous faith at a crucial moment will triumphantly open the way to great and everlasting good fortune for one's entire family."
