-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin teaches,
"(When one practices the Lotus Sutra
under such circumstances,)
difficulties will arise,
difficulties will arise,
and these are to be looked on as
'peaceful' practices."*
When we devote ourselves
When we devote ourselves
to achieving kosen-rufu,
courage wells forth
courage wells forth
and good fortune and benefit
are accumulated.
All of our struggles and hardships
All of our struggles and hardships
transform into joy and happiness.
*"Concerning the 'peaceful' practices of the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law and the practices carried out by Nichiren and his followers now in the Latter Day of the Law, you should understand that, when one practises the Lotus Sutra under such circumstances, difficulties will arise, and these are to be looked on as 'peaceful' practices."

"When one comes to realise and see that each thing—the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson—in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryō, 'to include' or all-inclusive."

"Encouraging members struggling with problems such as financial difficulties and illness, my mentor, second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda, said: 'We are merely playing roles in the drama of life. We are in fact bona fide Bodhisattvas of the Earth! Since life is a grand drama, we should thoroughly enjoy playing the role we have undertaken and win victory after victory, demonstrating the greatness of the Mystic Law.'"
