-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Yet you must grit your teeth
and never slacken in your faith."*
Never be frightened by any
obstacles that we might encounter!
With the treasured sword
to assail evil and reveal the truth,
let's boldly cut down any malicious rumours!
* "Letter to the Brothers", WND-1 page 498

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Tell them to be prepared for the worst, and not to expect good times, but take the bad times for granted."
("On Persecutions Befalling the Sage", WND-1 page 998)

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters [guardian deities of Buddhism] will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground' (WND-1, 444).
"…No matter what obstacles lie ahead, keep chanting earnestly, with the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and boldly take a step forwards. Doing so will allow you to bring forth immeasurable wisdom and open the way to making the impossible possible."
