-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Faith is all about having courage.
The courage to try
The courage to try
to overcome our weaknesses
and today, yet again,
and today, yet again,
take a new step forwards
to challenge ourselves!
It's through such continuous courageous efforts
that we can elevate our life condition
"The Daishonin's actions flowed from his great vow to lead all people of the Latter Day of the Law to enlightenment, his passionate commitment to condemn evils that inflict suffering on the people, and his absolute confidence that no adversity would ever defeat him. As SGI members, we take pride in carrying on his noble struggle for kosen-rufu.
to challenge ourselves!
It's through such continuous courageous efforts
that we can elevate our life condition
to the very highest level.

"'I began chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in a loud voice and have continued to do so for more than twenty years.
"'During that time, I have been cursed and beaten, and at times have sustained injury. Twice I have been exiled, once I was condemned to death, and the other great trials that I have suffered are too numerous to mention.'

"'During that time, I have been cursed and beaten, and at times have sustained injury. Twice I have been exiled, once I was condemned to death, and the other great trials that I have suffered are too numerous to mention.'

"My thoughts turn to the actions and conduct of Nichiren Daishonin who, from the moment he established his teaching (on April 28th, 1253), selflessly dedicated his life to spreading the Mystic Law while overcoming countless persecutions.
"Striving with the heart of a lion king, let's open wide the great path to 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land' and the eternal development of worldwide kosen-rufu."
