 However great the good causes one may make, or even if one reads and copies the entirety of the Lotus Sutra a thousand or ten thousand times, or attains the way of perceiving three thousand realms in a single moment of life, if one fails to denounce the enemies of the Lotus Sutra, it will be impossible to attain the way.

 It's so important to keep the promises made to friends. This is the true meaning of friendship. To become people who can do so, however, we must first learn to keep our resolutions - the promises we have made to ourselves.

Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (16 February 1954) p.158
 
Sensei struggles relentlessly against the devil of sickness.
I, too, continuously battle the same devil.
Where there is passionate faith, there must be victory. I am young; my life begins from now. If only I can be the engine that turns President Toda's plans and ideas into reality…
Life is nothing but struggle and advancement. Such is my destiny.
