-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The key to making great progress
is by understanding
the matter at hand.
What is the "wall"
that needs surmounting?
Clearly define each wall.
So doing so,
let's move into the new* year
with strong momentum!
* Japan and some other countries start a new work and school year as of April 1st every year.

Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens.

"'The doctrine of three thousand realms in a single moment of life I have revealed in all its purity in the great mandala [the Gohonzon of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo]. It is a doctrine that the scholars of the present age, lacking comprehension in such matters, cannot fathom even in their dreams. T'ient'ai, Miao-lo and Dengyo pondered it in their minds but did not spread it abroad.
From "The Oral Tradition regarding the Enlightenment of Plants
(WND-2, 430)
"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, revealed the Gohonzon to enable all people to attain enlightenment. It is the most powerful and sublime embodiment of the life force of the entire universe. Through the power of faith and practice, our members around the world are drawing forth the limitless power of the Buddha and the Law.
"Prayer infused with a vow for kosen-rufu can activate the Buddhas and protective functions throughout the universe, in accordance with the principle of 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life.'
"Making our lives shine as supremely noble entities of the Mystic Law and helping others do the same, let's continue creating value for the happiness and victory of all!"
Engraving The Daishonin's Writings in Our Hearts, [90] Activating the Protective Functions of the Universe, from 25th November, 2020 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2021.
