"Sufferings and hardship are actually the springboard for winning in life. When we decide to face and challenge our difficulties, we chant daimoku fervently and become completely involved in solving the problem. In the process, we can tap our full strength and polish and train ourselves. This provides the momentum for success.... The reason we're moved by films and television dramas that have happy endings is that the characters have gone through all kinds of troubles to reach the conclusion. All of you are enacting a great drama of kosen-rufu. Without tribulations, there'd be no story. Obstacles provide fuel for victory."
