"A truly happy person is one who remains undefeated, no matter what happens. Ultimately, unless we win over ourselves, over our own weaknesses, we won't be able to open the way to true happiness.

"A truly happy person is one who remains undefeated, no matter what happens. Ultimately, unless we win over ourselves, over our own weaknesses, we won't be able to open the way to true happiness.
"Kosen-rufu also moves forwards through winning. Winning makes our Buddhahood shine forth from within. Attaining Buddhahood is just another way of describing true victory.
"Let's all win! To win, it is essential to chant daimoku and forge inner strength.
"Soviet cosmonaut Yury Gagarin (1934–68), who was the first person to fly into space, declared: 'Success favours the bold.'[1] Success does not favour the timid—it flees from them! Be bold and courageous. Faith is the highest form of courage. Courage is the heart of Buddhism."
