-- TO MY FRIENDS --
For those who decide to practice
"the faith of absolute victory,"
our lives will shine with
our lives will shine with
unlimited good fortune and benefit.
Through chanting daimoku
with this decisive conviction,
let's open the throttle full up
let's open the throttle full up
and charge ahead
towards accomplishing our mission.
And together,
let's shout victorious cheers!

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."

"The Daishonin says: 'To uphold the body of the Buddha means to uphold the belief that outside of our own bodies there is no Buddha' (OTT, 97).
"It is essential that we 'uphold the character myo' with the conviction that we each possess the supremely respectworthy life state of Buddhahood. 'Uphold' here means to maintain steadfast faith until the very end.
"Stead fast" means making a new determination each day, challenging ourselves each day and advancing, growing and triumphing each day."
The Buddhism of the Sun--Illuminating the World, [68] Be Victors in the Journey of Life and Kosen-rufu, Maintaining Steadfast Faith Means Challenging Ourselves Each Day, December 2020 Daibyaku Renge Monthly Study Journal, translation released October 2021.
