-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"What results will be manifested in the future
depend on what causes we are making in the present."*
Let's challenge to climb the mountain
(of obstacles) that's right in front of us!
It's through the accumulation of
such efforts and struggles
that glorious victories shine in our lives.
*"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present." - "The Opening of the Eyes", WND-I, page 279

"The meaning of this sutra passage is that the heavenly gods and benevolent deities will assume various forms such as those of men and women, and present offerings to help the persons who practise the Lotus Sutra."

- The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol. I, page 35)
