-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin asserts,
"Worthies and sages
are tested by abuse."*
It's through
experiencing severe struggles
that an outstanding character
is developed.
Let's take on that challenge
we're facing right now
with a strong indomitable spirit!
*Gosho: "Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword. Worthies and sages are tested by abuse." - WND-1, p.303

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Gold can be neither burned by fire nor corroded or swept away by water, but iron is vulnerable to both. A worthy person is like gold, a fool like iron. You are like pure gold because you embrace the 'gold' of the Lotus Sutra."
( The Heritage of the Ultimate Lawof Life
- WND, Vol. 1, page 217)
