-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No great task has ever ben accomplished
without passion and commitment.
Great individuals are never nurtured
without encountering hardships and struggles.
I hope that will all become leaders
of fervour and zeal!

"In the Latter Day of the Law, no treasure tower exists other than the figures of the men and women who embrace the Lotus Sutra. It follows, therefore, that whether eminent or humble, high or low, those who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo are themselves the treasure tower, and, likewise, are themselves the Thus Come One Many Treasures. No treasure tower exists other than Myoho-renge-kyo. The daimoku of the Lotus Sutra is the treasure tower, and the treasure tower is Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
(On the Treasure Tower- WND, Vol. 1, page 299)

"Progress and growth come through struggle. Hope and joy are also found in struggle.
"Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894–1972), a pioneering proponent of European unification, declared: 'Life is struggle, and it should remain that way.'[1]
"Let us continue our struggle—with ourselves, with our karma, with the negative forces of life that pervade the universe, and to carry out our great movement for kosen-rufu.
"A new phase in life's journey begins now."
