-- TO MY FRIENDS --
This is the faith and practice that enables us
to be absolutely victorious.
It's the Mystic Law that enables us
to change poison into medicine.*
With the strong conviction that it could never come about
that the prayers (of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra) would go unanswered,**
let's unyieldingly continue to advance!
*Buddhism in Daily Life, "Changing Poison into Medicine" - http://www.sgi.org/about-us/buddhism-in-daily-life/changing-poison-into-medicine.html

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

"The most powerful force in propagation is not only rich life experience, but conviction in the power of the Gohonzon and the earnest wish for the happiness of the other person. Even if one is young, words filled with conviction and concern for others will resonate with people and strike a chord in their hearts."
