-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us,
"You must simply make up your mind."*
The strength needed to break
any deadlock that we are facing now
is drawn forth by chanting daimoku
infused with the vow to achieve kosen-rufu.
Let's exceed what we achieved yesterday.
Let's advance one step today,
and if not that… half a step!
