The Daishonin
encourages us to rejoice,
"(Even if you are not
"(Even if you are not

you should all perform a dance."*

for the expansion of our

the more passionately we burn
The more difficult our situation might be,
the more passionately we burn
to challenge ourselves!
*Mahākāshyapa and Shāriputra danced with joy in the Lotus Sutra (Simile and Parable chapter) when they heard the Buddha's teaching of universal enlightenment, and realised that they, too, could become Buddhas.
