--June 3-- This existence passes by in an instant, but our lives themselves are eternal. Please be deeply confident that all your present efforts and hard work will contribute to your eternal happiness. That is why it is important never to retreat in faith, no matter how daunting the difficulties you may encounter. Do not be afraid. If you retreat or let yourself be ruled by fear, you will be the one to lose. "For your own sake and for the future, do not backslide in faith! Do not be afraid! Persevere in faith!" - this is Nichiren Daishonin's message.
