-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we encounter deadlock
that is the critical time to win
through practising this faith.
"I will definitely break through
"I will definitely break through
this obstacle, no matter what!"
With such an indomitable
never-give-up spirit,
let's play out
let's play out
an exhilarating victorious drama!

"In 'Reply to Kyo'o,' the Daishonin also says: "Wherever your daughter may frolic or play, no harm will come to her; she will move about without fear like the lion king' (WND–1, 412).

"In 'Reply to Kyo'o,' the Daishonin also says: "Wherever your daughter may frolic or play, no harm will come to her; she will move about without fear like the lion king' (WND–1, 412).
"As long as we continue to chant the lion's roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, then no matter what illness, hardship or misfortune we face, we can 'move about without fear like the lion king.' We will experience a state of complete happiness and freedom in accord with the Lotus Sutra passage that says 'living beings enjoy themselves at ease" (LSOC 16, 272)*
"Chanting this way may be difficult for a child as young as Kyo'o. Even adults can find it hard to do gongyo and chant daimoku when in the hospital or struggling with a serious illness. Sometimes they have no choice but to chant silently in their hearts. But the lions roar of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo chanted by their family and fellow members will reach and permeate their lives without fail. 'What sickness can therefore be an obstacle?' (WND–1, 412), writes the Daishonin. Let us have deep conviction in these words."

* In the "Life Span" (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra, the world in which we dwell is described as a place "where living beings enjoy themselves at ease" (LSOC 16, 272). This indicates that the saha world, normally regarded as a realm of suffering, is actually the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light, or a Buddha realm, where all living beings can experience the greatest enjoyment.
