Let's establish a good rhythm
for a healthy life
starting with sufficient sleep,
appropriate exercise,
and a balanced diet.
Let's spend each day
wisely and cheerfully,
always keeping our health
and longevity in mind!

"Mr. Toda often used to say: 'When we wholeheartedly believe in the Gohonzon, life becomes inherently enjoyable and we can derive pleasure from everything we do.'
"There may be times when you want to express aloud your feelings of suffering and sadness. But instead, give voice to those feelings through prayer. If you let them out as they are, they become complaints, but if you direct them towards the Gohonzon, they become prayer.
"When you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, you can bring forth the courage not to be defeated. A firm resolve will form within you to do your best and win."
From Building a Bright Future based on Our Vow, [19] Shijo Kingo—Part 1 [of 3], Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in Both Suffering and Joy, Future Journal, Oct. 1st 2019 issue, translation released May, 2021.
