Faith is the secret to happiness for all people. When you truly forge your mind of faith, you will become an eternal victor throughout the three existences of past, present and future. Strong faith enables you to display your wisdom appropriately, so that you can take advantage of change and move forward in the direction of victory and hope.

The present time corresponds to the first five hundred years of the Latter Day of the Law. Passages of the sutra clearly state that at this time Bodhisattva Superior Practices will appear and bestow the five characters of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on all the people of Japan . And they reveal that he will face exile and execution. I am also like the envoy of Bodhisattva Superior Practices because I spread this doctrine.
Reply To The Lay Priest Takahashi
Nichiren Daishonin wrote this letter in 1275 at Minobu to the lay priest Takahashi Rokuro Hyoe. Takahashi's wife was the aunt of Nikko Shonin, and it was through this connection that he had been converted to the Daishonin's teaching.

Dialogue is a positive endeavour. It builds solidarity and creates unity. To reject others only has negative repercussions. It invites division and leads to destruction. The point is to meet and to talk. It is only natural that our perspective may at times differ from that of others. But dialogue gives rise to trust, even among those who don't see eye to eye.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (10 November 1950) p.60
I worry a little as it grows colder, since I have no other shirts to wear.
As Mr Toda's representative, visited several of our customers with my department chief. Regardless of time or place, trust is the most vital thing.
