“[When Nichiren and his followers recite
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], they are burning
the firewood of earthly desires,
summoning up the wisdom fire of
bodhi or enlightenment.”(*)
The more we challenge our worries
and problems, the more we are able to
develop a profound life condition.
Let’s base our lives on chanting daimoku
with an indomitable spirit!

manifest “great reward” in your life.
