-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Everything begins from our chanting Daimoku.
It's precisely when we are at our busiest
that it is absolutely vital to chant Daimoku,
not only out of gratitude but also with the determination
towards fulfilling our vow for kosen-rufu.
This is how we then can draw out
the very best of wisdom from within ourselves
and overflow with both hope and courage
in order to take that necessary action!

"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing. Since you visit me constantly, regardless of the difficulties, your belief is comparable to flowing water."
(The Two Kinds of Faith - WND, Vol. I, page 899)
