-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The one who sets our limitations
is ourselves.
The one who decides if we succeed
is again ourselves.
With the strong conviction
With the strong conviction
that there are unlimited possibilities
in our lives,
let's seriously chant daimoku!
With this faith and practice,
in our lives,
let's seriously chant daimoku!
With this faith and practice,
there is absolutely no wall
that cannot be broken through!

"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions."
(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage
- WND, Vol. 1, page 996)

"Of course, organisations are made up of human beings, so conflicts and differences of opinion naturally arise. Everyone has likes and dislikes, and sometimes we just don't get along with certain people, but that's precisely why it's so important to be accepting and tolerant of others, to support and be considerate of one another as we strive for our ultimate goal of kosen-rufu. We need to help one another, make up for each other's shortcomings and enable each person to make the most of their abilities. The key to achieving that is to advance with a passionate commitment to the shared struggle of mentor and disciple.
