-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin states,
"The wise will rejoice
while the foolish will retreat."*
Times of trials or adversity
Times of trials or adversity
are the perfect opportunity
for us to strengthen our life state
and make a further leap forwards!
Let's advance
and make a further leap forwards!
Let's advance
with the spirit of a lion king!
*"Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
