"Any discipline has its basic practice. Take judo or fencing, for example.Similarly, the basic practice of our faith for the attainment of happiness is gongyo. A person who seriously practices gongyo and chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day may seem no different in the beginning from one who is lax in these areas. However, three, five or seven years later,unmistakable differences will emerge. Our aim is to change our karma andcarry out human revolution, but the only source of power for accomplishing this is gongyo and Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. This is why Nichiren Daishonin tells us, 'Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night.How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo"
