*Viewed from the perspective of faith and a life dedicated to the bodhisattva way, the greater the hardships one has experienced, the greater one's mission. It is a way of life that cherishes "more valuable than treasures in a storehouse are the treasures of the body, and the treasures of the heart as the most valuable of all" (cf. WND-1, p. 851). Let us strive to fulfil our mission with pride and optimism, accumulating imperishable treasures of the heart. If we advance with the lofty aspiration of our vow for kosen-rufu, we can amass good fortune and benefit beyond measure.*

*总之，越是跨越过痛苦经验的人，越有伟大的使命。能如此前瞻，就是信心之眼，就是行菩萨道的人生。这种人生也可说是以胜过"仓之财"和"身之财"的"心之财"为第一的人生。 爽朗地以贯彻自己的使命而自豪，不断积聚三世不朽的"心之财"，勇往直前。若能以此宏大的广宣誓愿前进，将积下无量无边的福德。*
