-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kyushu, pioneers of the world,
may you sing a song of victory
of the happiness of the people!
The Daishonin reminds us:
"You should not be afraid."
Let's all muster up
our great indomitable fighting spirit
and surmount the steepest of
steepest hills!
*from "Reply to the Sages" WND-2, pg. 831

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.
(On Prayer - WND-1, page 345)
