-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Without speaking up,
we cannot convey what the truth is.
In these chaotic and uncertain times,
through courageously engaging
in dialogue and discussion for justice,
let's illuminate society,
and help lead everyone
towards happiness!

"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."
("Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain", WND-l page 598)

""Faith in the Gohonzon guarantees that 'misfortune will change into fortune' (WND–1, 412). As the Daishonin declares, 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is like the roar of a lion' (WND-1, 412). With daimoku, we can break through all obstacles.
"Sometimes we may get a different result to what we hoped for, but the time is sure to come when we look back and realise that everything turned out exactly right for our lives."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [70] Everything Begins with Prayer Infused with the Shared Vow of Mentor and Disciple, The Power to Change Poison into Medicine, from the February 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released December 2021.
