"As revealed in such writings as 'The Opening of the Eyes' and 'Letter from Sado,' which the Daishonin wrote during his exile on Sado Island, those who practise the Lotus Sutra and spread the Mystic Law are certain to undergo great difficulties. But by struggling fearlessly against those obstacles with the 'heart of a lion king,' he states [in 'Letter from Sado'], they can eradicate all negative effects of past offences and attain Buddhahood (cf. WND-1, 302-3).

"In the face of severe hardships, we need to look ahead with a positive attitude and joyfully take them on. Those with the 'heart of a lion king' possess the courage to create and spread hope, no matter how adverse their circumstances. They can tap the wisdom to overcome every obstacle and sever the heavy chains of negative karma. They have an invincible power. This absolute conviction is the spirit of true cause.

"Indeed, whenever our members have encountered difficulties in life, they have roused ever stronger faith, regarding such moments as opportunities for growth and for changing their karma, or destiny. Overcoming one challenge after another, they have moved forwards in their lives with strength and resilience, and opened the way to a hope-filled future."
