-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Myo means to revive, that is, to return to life."*
Never ever be defeated by
the "devil" of illness!
Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo contains
the great life force of the Buddha.
Win by chanting daimoku
Win by chanting daimoku
with the roaring power of a lion king!

"Have the sun in your heart, /and all will be well!'* These are the final lines of a famous German poem by Casar Flaischlen (1864 - 1920). It is a call to bring the sun in our hearts to shine ever more radiantly in the face of difficulties."
