"Kosen-rufu is a struggle against devilish functions. These may take the form of persecution by the authorities, unexpected events or occasions that stir up doubt.
"Please, whatever happens, keep the word 'faith' deeply engraved in your hearts, steadfastly walk the great path of kosen-rufu and become happy without fail."
