-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is the autumn of
developing capable people!
While exerting ourselves
in the two ways of practice and study,
let's shine a light on new people
and help them to draw forth
their strengths and abilities.
In doing so, we create
the future of kosen-rufu!

"In his writings 'On Persecutions Befalling the Sage', the Daishonin states:
"'Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beasts, nor do it's cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions.... Strengthen your faith day by day and month after month. Should you slacken in your resolve even a bit, devils will take advantage.' (WND – 1, 997)
"He urges his disciples to 'never succumb to threats'—that is, to not be afraid or intimidated by anything."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, (33) To My Dear Friends of the Youth Division-Part1 [of 5], Champions Stand Alone with Firm Faith, from the January 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, translation released Sep. 2018
