-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Studying the
writings of Nichiren Daishonin
-- serves as the compass
for our lives.
As our Buddhist study deepens
As our Buddhist study deepens
so does it nourish our spirits!
It builds
It builds
an unshakable solid foundation
within us
to overcome our weaknesses!

"My youth was also a time of painful struggles.
"In my early 20s, when I had only been practising Nichiren Buddhism for about three years, Mr. Toda's businesses fell on hard times due to the turbulent postwar economy. I was suddenly transferred from working as the editor for a children's magazine, a job I loved, into finance, an area in which I had no interest.
"it was a series of indescribable hardships, but I persevered, determined to ensure that Mr. Toda could freely devote himself to leading the movement for kosen-rufu.* I worked furiously, resolving each day to remain undefeated and come out triumphant, no matter what happened. Whenever I had a spare moment, I earnestly chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. I forged ahead, overcoming every difficult. Through that experience, I gained the absolute conviction that no prayer to the Gohonzon goes unanswered and that nothing is more powerful than chanting daimoku."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [60] Creating Century of Humanism in Which All Can Shine—Part 4 [of 5], A Youth of Struggle. Daibyaku Renge April 2020, translation released March 2021
* In August 1950, Mr. Toda decided to step down as the Soka Gakkai's general director in order to protect the organisation from his business troubles.
