-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What opens up the future is 
our own power from within 
and our conviction.
Whatever the past or 
current situation might be,
those who live for today, 
with all earnestness, 
are certain to experience 
a hope-filled day tomorrow.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism views illness as 'an innate part of life' (OTT, 174). When we are confronted with illness, we come to understand the importance of health and the preciousness of life. We can gain a deeper appreciation of our own life and mission.

"In addition, our determination, strong faith and prayers to battle our illness impart courage and hope to those around us. They demonstrate the nobility of the human spirit. Health and illness are one and inseparable. In Nichiren Buddhism, we can transform illness into mission."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [53] Towards a Century of Health: The Wisdom for Leading a Long Life of Good Fortune and Benefit—Part 1 [of 4]. Gaining a Deeper Appreciation for Our Life and Mission, from the September 2019 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study magazine, translation released August 2020
