-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
" A blue fly, if it clings to the tail
of a thoroughbred horse, can
travel ten thousand miles."*
If we continue to practice
this Buddhism with firm pure faith,
the supreme state of life will,
as a matter of course,
unfold in our lives.
Let's, therefore, wholeheartedly
devote our lives to fulfilling the
great vow of achieving kosen-rufu!
*WND-I, page 17

"The Daishonin describes the workings of our heart, or life, as being 'strict,' adding that every one of the three thousand realms exists in our lives (cf.OTT, 22). Our heart determines whether or not we attain Buddahood. That's why 'it is the heart that is important.'"
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, The Heart is Where All Change Begins, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
