"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345) Selection source: "Myoji no Gen", Seikyo Shimbun, April 15th, 2007

SUNDAY, April 15th, 2007 -- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our dear youth, please create waves of expansion and development and stir up a wind for the sake of justice and truth!
Be the heroes and heroines of our times!
Your youthful strength and capabilities are as vast and boundless as the universe!
* The life of the Buddha wells forth powerfully in those who awaken to their original mission; whatever their personal or social situation, such people can realise victory in life with total composure. They can follow a joyful and meaningful path in life. Therefore, those who base themselves on the theme "kosen-rufu and my life" will never become deadlocked. The life of Nichiren Daishonin and the power of the Gohonzon are as vast and boundless as the universe itself. Our own lives also contain infinite potential. Whether we can actualise that potential depends entirely on the strength and depth of our determination in faith.
(Lectures on the "Expedient Means" and "Life Span" Chapters of the Lotus Sutra by Daisaku Ikeda, Volume 2, page 59)
