-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
is like the roar of a lion."
The power to conquer
the devil of illness
is born of our strong daimoku.
Let's burn with a persistent,
indomitable heart!
*from "Reply to Kyō'ō" WND-1, page 412

The Great Teacher Miao-lo stated, "The stronger one's faith, the greater the protection of the gods." So long as one maintains firm faith, one is certain to receive the great protection of the gods.

"As we engage in our human revolution through our efforts to fulfil our vow for 'kosen-rufu through the compassionate propagation of the great Law,'* we are giving people around the world hope and confidence that they can transform all poison into medicine."**
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating The World, [66] The Journey of Mentor and Disciple for Worldwide Kosen-rufu—Creating a Global Network for Peace, Relieving the Suffering of All People, from the October 2020 issue of the Daibyakurenge- Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released July 2021
* From one of the inscriptions on the Soka Gakkai Joju Gohonzon enshrined in the Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu.
** "Changing poison into medicine" refers to employing the power of the Mystic Law to transform a life dominated by the three paths of earthly desires, karma and suffering into a life manifesting the three virtues of the Dharma body, wisdom and emancipation.
