-- TO MY FRIENDS --
A person whose life is forever advancing and growing
does not indulge in complaint or dissatisfaction.
A heart overflowing with joy and appreciation
is one where good fortune abounds.
Come, let's gallantly walk the path
of our unique missions!

"The Daishonin was overjoyed at the victories of his beloved disciples—such as the Ikegami brothers, and Shijo Kingo and his wife, Nichigen-nyo—writing that nothing delighted him more than hearing such news (cf. WND-2, 730).
"Buddhism is about winning. Therefore, showing that faith in the correct teaching brings ultimate victory proves the limitless power of the Mystic Law and becomes a bright source of hope for future generations."
