-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Each day, with a fresh new breath,
let's joyfully talk with others.
In doing so, inspiration is born
and everyone is empowered
with the strength
to make bold progress.
Together, let's play out
a drama of delight!

The three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat.

"Sadly, words that disregard the truth, hurt people and sow confusion and division in society have become all too prevalent in the world today.
"The Daishonin writes: 'In judging the relative merits of Buddhist doctrines, I, Nichiren, believe that the best standards are those of reason and documentary proof. And even more valuable than reason and documentary proof is the proof of actual fact' (WND-1, 599).
"In a more general sense, too, when weighing whether a certain ideal or principle being advocated is valid, we need to ask whether there is written or reported evidence, whether it is reasonable and universally sound and whether there is solid proof of its value in people's lives or in society."
April Editorial, Seikyo Newspaper—Banner of Joy and Inspiration, from the April 2021 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released May 2021.
