-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"If you want to understand what results
will be manifested in the future,
look at the causes that exist in the present."*
What opens the door
to a victorious and glorious life
is our resolve
and the action that
we are taking right now!
*"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." - WND-I, page 279

"The great British historian Arnold J. Toynbee (1889-1975) remarked that the human spirit is always vulnerable to becoming apathetic, and constant effort is required to awaken us to our dormant potential. One of the purposes of religion, he observed, is to be a spiritual stimulant in this process.
"You all have the unparalleled practice of Nichiren Buddhism,. When you do morning gongyo, you can start your engine for the day. When you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can tap the limitless power within you. Moreover, the encouragement you receive from fellow members of the Soka family Can inspire you to move forwards and grow."
Building a Bright Future based on our Vow—Exploring the Life of Nanjo Tokimitsu, [4] Perseverance Is Another Name for Unwavering Determination, from 1st July, 2018 issue of the Mirai [Future] Journal, translation released September 2019
