"Strive even harder in faith, and never give in to negligence. All the people appear to believe sincerely when they first embrace the Lotus Sutra, but as time passes, they ten to become less devout; they no longer revere or make offerings to the priest, giving themselves up to arrogance and forming distorted views. This is most frightening." (WND, 1027)
Please do not forget your mother's love or the hardships she has endured for you. I am convinced that while people keep the memory of their mothers loving faces alive in their minds, they will never go far astray. Similarly, as long we bear in mind the Daishonin's profound compassion and live in deep appreciation of it, our lives will be illuminated brightly by the light of Buddhahood. An enveloped in the Gohonzon's great compassion, we will walk along a path that is filled with tranquility and immeasurable joy. (For Today & Tomorrow, Daisaku Ikeda)
