"Nichiren Daishonin says: 'For those who have profound faith, it is as though a full moon were illuminating the night' (WND–1, 94).
"No matter how big your problems, you can make yourself shine as bright as the full moon by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.
"The moon appears in different shapes during the lunar cycle, sometimes showing only a half-circle or a slender crescent. Sometimes we can't see the moon at all, but the full moon always returns. Together with the sun, the moon is constantly generating a rhythm of hope.
"Whatever happens, always remain bright and positive! Please advance vibrantly with the sun and serenely with the moon!"
