Words from our Mentor - Daisaku Ikeda

Faith 

Nothing is more powerful than correct prayer to the Gohonzon (object of devotion). Nichiren Daishonin teaches that no prayer will go unanswered, and that nothing surpasses the strategy of the Lotus Sutra - that is faith in the Mystic Law by chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. Every struggle, every effort, must start with prayer, must be supported by continued prayer, and must be carried out with prayer to the very end. [At the Tokyo No 2 Area Executive Leaders Conference held on April 5, 2008, Part 1)

Soka Gakkai Second President Mr Toda warmly encouraged members who were facing various problems in life, such as business difficulties, financial worries, illness and family discord. He said: "Nichiren Daishonin overcame every obstacle. This is actual proof of the power of faith. You have the Gohonzon. You have the strategy of faith. Live as a spiritual champion. You'll definitely be able to find a wonderful solution beyond anything you've imagined. Faith that is not defeated by any adversity is what enables us to build a citadel of eternal happiness.
