-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"This is my vow,
and I will never forsake it!"*
Aiming towards the glorious peak of kosen-rufu,
always inspiring each other,
let's continue to advance along the path
that we vowed
until the very last moment!
*Gosho: WND-I, page 281

"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present."

"The Mystic Law guarantees the benefits of 'peace and security in the present existence and good circumstances in future existences.' Enjoying peace and security does not mean that our lives will be completely free of problems and suffering. Rather, it means continuing to fight and win with the unflagging courage of a lion king by maintaining steadfast faith.
"As the Daishonin states: 'Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens' (WND –1, 681)."
