-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What determines victory in our battles
is our perseverance and tenacity
to the very end without giving up,
no matter what!
Let's now head towards
our glorious goal
just as we are,
leaving behind no regrets!

"A fire burns higher when logs are added, and a strong wind makes a kālakula grow larger. The pine tree lives for ten thousand years, and therefore its boughs become bent and twisted. The votary of the Lotus Sutra is like the fire and the kālakula, while his persecutions are like the logs and the wind."
(The Difficulty of Sustaining Faith
- WND, Vol. 1, page 471)

"The Daishonin writes: 'Could "enjoy themselves at ease" [LSOC5,136] mean anything but that both our bodies and minds, lives and environments, are entities of three thousand realms in a single moment of life and Buddhas of limitless joy?' (WND-1,681). The transformation of our own lives also transforms the world around us."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, June 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
