Saturday, July 3rd, 2021
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Kosen-rufu is a constant struggle 
between the Buddha 
and devilish/negative functions.
Let's decisively win,
with our uncompromising 
invincible faith and practice,
the fierce battle 
"to stop the devil king 
of the sixth heaven
from taking possession"!*

*"The devil king of the sixth heaven has roused the ten kinds of troops and, in the midst of the sea of the sufferings of birth and death, is at war with the votary of the Lotus Sutra to stop him from taking possession of and to wrest away from him this impure land where both ordinary people and sages dwell. It has been twenty or more years now since I found myself in that situation and began the great battle. Not once have I thought of retreat." 
(WND, Vol.2, page 465)
