-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Every time we're faced with a challenge,
we can build a stronger self.
This is the Soka spirit
of never being defeated!
Adversity itself is what allows us
Adversity itself is what allows us
to transform our karma
and opens up our lives
and opens up our lives
to their greater potential.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin assures us that as long as we continue to strive for kosen-rufu, we will be safeguarded by the protective functions of the universe. And he writes: 'If we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood' (WND-1, 282). Our prayers as practitioners of the Lotus Sutra enable us to walk the path to certain happiness and face the challenges of karma with hope and optimism."
