In prayers

Let's chant with unwavering conviction

"If there are a sun and a moon in the sky, if there are plants and trees on the earth, if there are day and night in this country of ours, then so long as the earth fails to turn upside down and the tides of the ocean continue to ebb and flow, there can be no doubt that the prayers of those who put faith in the Lotus Sutra Nam-moho-renge-kyo will be answered in this world, and that they will enjoy good circumstances in their next existence."

'On Prayer', WND-1, 346

The prayers of practitioners of the Lotus Sutra will be answered without fail. This is the Daishonin's assurance. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a source of life force. It is the path to absolute victory, enabling us to lead happy and triumphant lives. We will always find a way forward. All our hardships will become good fortune and benefit as we transform our karma into mission.

Chanting with a vow for the betterment of society based on the life-affirming principles of Nichiren Buddhism aligns our lives with the compassionate rhythm of the universe and enfolds the entire land where we dwell. Let's chant even more strongly with unwavering conviction that all our desires will be fulfilled!
