"Rise to the challenge of life's trials and tribulations. You can't develop genuine character and ability by sidestepping adversity and struggle. Work hard. Make efforts for kosen-rufu. Sometimes others may taunt you or try to deter you, but just keep pressing forwards and win. All of this is training in life, and all of it becomes your treasure.
"Nichiren Buddhism teaches that powerful opponents can actually be our greatest allies, because they force us to develop fortitude and strength of character. They are actually what Buddhism calls 'good friends'—positive influences that help us on the road to attaining Buddhahood."
