-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches us,
"Only by defeating a powerful enemy
can one prove one's real strength."*
By facing our weak points
and breaking through them,
our glorious victory
comes within reach.
Herein lies the vital key
in the challenges we face!
*Gosho: "Letter from Sado" - WND 1 Page 302

"Just as softly falling snow steadily accumulates, our sincere faith will not fail to produce good causes that impart benefit to our lives. People of strong faith are certain to triumph and flourish in the end. Nichiren Buddhism teaches that they will enjoy boundless good fortune throughout the three existences of past, present and future, and lead lives of both spiritual and material happiness. This is all determined by our faith. That's why it's important to be serious and steadfast in faith."
40th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, Create Great Triumphant Dramas of Life!, Januray 1993, reshown at leaders meeting January 12th, 2019. From January 22nd, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2019
