"Just as flowers open up and bear fruit, just as the moon appears and invariably grows full, just as a lamp becomes brighter when oil is added, and just as plants and trees flourish with rain, so will human beings never fail to prosper when they make good causes."
(The Third Day of the New Year

"The Daishonin declares: 'The wonderful means of truly putting an end to the physical and spiritual obstacles of all living beings is none other than Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' (WND–1, 842). There are no obstacles that cannot be overcome by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. There are no deadlocks in Nichiren Buddhism. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the 'wonderful means' for breaking through all obstacles and forging ahead freely in life with courage and composure. That is why the Daishonin urges: 'Employ the strategy of the Lotus Sutra before any other" (WND–1, 1001). When we base our lives on the 'strategy of the Lotus Sutra'— that is, faith in the Mystic Law—we will overcome all problems without fail."
