— TO MY FRIENDS --
Those who always try to smile
are truly strong.
The presence of just one such person
will help to make everyone
feel brighter, more positive
and cheerful!
Let's strive to be such high-spirited optimists
who can infuse everyone around them
who can infuse everyone around them
with hope!

"Though our six consciousnesses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and thought—may decline, the 'palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality that reigns over all of life's functions' (WND-1, 832) that we have built through our efforts for kosen-rufu will never be destroyed.

"Though our six consciousnesses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and thought—may decline, the 'palace of the ninth consciousness, the unchanging reality that reigns over all of life's functions' (WND-1, 832) that we have built through our efforts for kosen-rufu will never be destroyed.
"In our journey throughout the three existences of past, present and future we are eternally united with the Mystic Law and the Daishonin. How could we be anxious or fearful?
"This 'heritage of faith' is certain to eventually flow on to all your family members, even those who oppose your practice, so there is nothing to worry about."
Living Out Our Lives with Unwavering Faith, from the July 2018 Editorial of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released August, 2018
