-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To my friends who are going through
hardships or challenges,
remember that we have
this great faith and practice to support us.
The trials of a "winter," without fail,
will turn into a glorious "spring"!
Now is the time when we need to
chant daimoku with great conviction!

"'One must not be afraid to take the first step.... The only failure is failing to try.'" Rosa Parks (1913-2005), a person today admired and praised around the world as the mother of the American Civil Rights Movement, who learnt from many individuals she admired and respected and worked together with them to create a better future, shared these courageous and hope-filled words that shine with wisdom as brilliant as a rainbow."
Rainbow of hope-Great Figures of the World, (33) Rosa Parks, from the Dec. 1st, 2016 issue of the Mirai (Future) Journal, translation released Jan. 2018
