-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Those whose faith flows consistently,
sparing no effort when it comes
to taking sincere action,
are certain to build a solid
and indestructible state of life!
Let's advance one step at a time
with sincerity and pure-hearted faith!

"Turning to the question of how one can develop strong conviction in faith, Shin'ichi continued: 'One way is to accumulate many experiences of seeing the tangible results of Buddhist practice in your life. Those who have such experiences are strong, because they feel the power of the Gohonzon in the depths of their lives.
"'Naturally, deepening your understanding of Buddhist doctrine is also important, as it can serve as a motivating force for making efforts in your Buddhist practice. But theory alone is not enough. To know something intellectually is different from knowing it with your life.
"'In sports such as kendo and judo, just learning the rules and moves doesn't make you proficient. You actually have to practise and engage in many bouts, learning with your body, with your life, how to win and what to do in different situations. That's how you hone your ability and technique.'"
