-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin reminds us,
"you must grit your teeth
and never slacken in your faith."*
The thicker the wall of hardship,
the more courageous we must be,
standing up with the resolve
never to be defeated!
This is the very essence
of the SGI spirit.

"By striving in our Buddhist practice, we can turn all challenges into fuel for personal growth and opportunities to make great breakthroughs. There is not the slightest doubt that in the end our lives will exceed our expectations. It's therefore crucial to persevere with steadfast faith until the last moment.
"The Daishonin writes: 'Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary [practitioner] of the Lotus Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life" (WND–1, 385)."
