-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin reminds us,
"where there is unseen virtue,
there will be visible reward."*
When continually working hard
When continually working hard
to fulfil our responsibilities
even if no one is watching,
we are definitely accumulating
we are definitely accumulating
great benefit and good fortune
in our lives
through such steady selfless
dedication and efforts.
*WND-1, page 907

"Looking towards the next decade, let's ascend the summit of kosen-rufu together. Fresh progress gives rise to fresh hope.
"There will doubtless be days when blizzards rage along the way. The Daishonin says: 'The greater the hardships befalling him [the votary of the Lotus Sutra], the greater the delight he feels, because of his strong faith' (WND–1, 33). Facing great difficulties is a test of faith. The Daishonin also says: 'Without tribulation there would be no votary of the Lotus Sutra' (WND–1, 33). Those who walk the path of justice are destined to battle great obstacles. Never let that intimidate you."
