-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Steadily challenging ourselves
without being noticed by others
is the surest path to victory.
With the spirit of
"honing one's swordsmanship
for ten years
to demonstrate the utmost
swing of a sword,"
let's tenaciously "forge" ourselves
with unwavering resolve!

"The Daishonin assures us: 'When great evil occurs, great good follows' (WND–1, 1119). He describes the positive, challenging spirit we should have, saying: 'You should all perform a dance… you should leap up and dance. When Bodhisattva Superior Practices emerged from the earth, did he not emerge dancing?' (WND–1, 1119).
"Standing up courageously at a time of great evil–a time of trouble and daunting challenges–with the conviction that we can move our lives and society's in the direction of great good–this is our spirit as practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism.
"Such a life is free of pessimism, self-pity or resignation. It is filled with joy–the great joy of practising the unsurpassed Mystic Law–and the honour of carrying out one's mission."
