-- TO MY FRIENDS --
No way can you have a fulfilled life
without hardships.
Even during times of hardship,
keep pressing forwards with joy!
Become invincible -
Never give up! Never give in!

"It goes without saying, therefore, that persons who study the teachings of Buddhism must also [observe the ideal of filial piety and] understand and repay their obligations. The disciples of the Buddha must without fail understand the four debts of gratitude and know how to repay them."
(The Opening of the Eyes
- WND, Vol. 1, page 228)

"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible reward' (WND-1, 907). Those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes for kosen-rufu, engaging in acts of unseen virtue, themselves epitomise the life state of the Buddha. They are sure to enjoy boundless visible reward."
(22) The Aim of Nichiren Buddhism Is to Achiebe happiness and Victory, From the Dec. 18th, 2017 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released Jan. 2018.
