-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Again today, again tomorrow,
let's advance with joy
and in high spirits!
The persistence to keep running
until the very end
towards our personal goals,
opens the path to victory in life!

This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality.

""'Could your having taken pity on and having made offerings to such a strange person be because you were my parent in a past existence, or could it be due to karma from a past lifetime? It is certainly no ordinary thing. Moreover, it is when the rain pours, the wind rages and people try to hold one back that one's resolve comes to the fore.'
— From 'Acknowledging Various Offerings' (WND–2, 757).
"Nichiren Daishonin is surely aware of all your prayers and efforts dedicated to kosen-rufu, even if others aren't. Everything you do will be transformed into eternal good fortune and benefit. Nothing is more worthwhile than striving wholeheartedly in the realm of faith.
"The Daishonin is doubtless praising each one of you immensely as you take on life's challenges and work energetically to create a peaceful and prosperous world for all. Applauding one another on our efforts and achievements, let us strengthen and amplify the resolve for kosen-rufu we have cherished from the remote past. Let us guide our societies and all those with whom we share karmic connections towards happiness and peace."
Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [60] Accumulating Eternal Good Fortune and Benefit Day after Day, from 6th November, 2021 issue fo the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2022.
