-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The Daishonin encourages us to
"(believe continuously
without ever regressing) ...
constantly,
constantly,
regardless of the difficulties."*
Like a mighty river
Like a mighty river
flowing ever powerfully,
let's make every effort to
let's make every effort to
practice this faith continuously!
Those who are consistent
-- win in the end!
*"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing. Since you visit me constantly, regardless of the difficulties, your belief is comparable to flowing water. It is worthy of great respect!"
