"If votaries of the Lotus Sutra carry out religious practice as the sutra directs, then every one of them without exception will surely attain Buddhahood within their present lifetime. To cite an analogy, if one plants the fields in spring and summer, then, whether it be early or late, one is certain to reap a harvest within the year."

But as long as you keep chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, your life will shine bright and strong like the full moon, lighting the path to help you overcome your worries and move forwards."
