– From 'On Prayer' (WND –1, 345).
"The prayers of the practitioners of the Lotus Sutra striving for kosen-rufu are infinitely powerful. This is the assurance of Nichiren Daishonin.
"When we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo to the very end and take resolute action, boundless wisdom will well forth from within us. All the living beings of the ten worlds will come to serve as protective functions to assist, support and safeguard our gathering of Buddha's.
"Nothing is a match for daimoku infused with a fighting spirit. The power of our unwavering faith and practice is the driving force that activates the power of the Buddha and the Law, which can make the impossible possible."
Advancing with the Gosho, [63] Unwavering Prayers of The Practitioners of the Lotus Sutra. Translated from 6th April, 2019 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June 2019
