"The Daishonin offers the following words of encouragement to one of his disciples [the lay nun Myoho]: 'A person who stumbles and falls to the ground pushes themselves up from the ground and rises to their feet again' (WND-1, 882).
"In the course of life's long journey, there may be times when we trip and fall. But that doesn't mean it's all over. We just need to get back up again. Faith in the Mystic Law is the source of hope that enables us to do so."
