Shakyamuni taught that the shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage.

"The Daishonin writes: 'Please believe that your good fortune will increase, as the sea tide swells and as the moon waxes full, and that your life will lengthen and you will be reborn on Eagle Peak'* (WND– 2, 354).
"As members of the Soka family, each one of us is an expert in accumulating good fortune. In the coming new year, with a powerful life force like the rising tide, let us achieve the great vows we have made for kosen-rufu and our lives, one by one like the moon waxing full. And striving even more to lead healthy, long lives, together let us make a song of our eternal triumph resound!"

* Eagle Peak is the place where Shakyamuni preached the Lotus Sutra. It is also called the pure land of Eagle Peak, symbolising the Buddha land or the eternal state of Buddhahood.
