"The Daishonin writes, 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province' (WND-1, 1117). He is telling his disciples, who were challenging adversity with unwavering faith, that he is counting on them to spread the Mystic Law in their communities. We can read this as a message to all of us today who have been sowing the seeds of the Mystic Law in the lives of one person after another in our respective lands while overcoming many hardships. We are all courageous Bodhisattvas of the Earth sharing karmic bonds."
