-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we make every possible effort
to fulfil our vow for kosen-rufu,
we're able to muster the courage and strength
to face all kinds of obstacles in our lives
and at the same time
shatter the negative forces
we are confronted with.
Let's make great strides on our chosen path
with a never retreating spirit!

"If the nation is destroyed and people's homes are wiped out, then where can one flee for safety? If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land, should you not?"
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land

"Only those who have experienced the harshness of winter can truly know the joy of spring. The same is true of life.
"The Swiss philosopher Carl Hilty (1833–1909) asserted: 'What joy is, is essentially known only to those who have suffered much. Others know only pleasure, which is in no way similar.'[1] Those who haven't experienced suffering cannot know real joy—how true that is!"
