We often wait for fear to vanish before we act. This is a common mistake. True COURAGE demands we move forward while the fear is still present. The Lotus Sutra offers a magnificent sword to every single person. This is the sword of faith. It is sharper than the finest steel. Nichiren Daishonin taught that we must wield this sword to cut through the fundamental darkness in our own lives.

A coward cannot have their prayers answered. We must summon the BRAVERY to confront our obstacles directly. The enemies of doubt and hesitation will always arise. They test the strength of our resolve. We defeat them with the roar of our daimoku. A powerful prayer pierces through the heavy chains of karma. It severs the roots of suffering that hold us back.

When we chant Namu Myoho Renge Kyo with the FEROCITY of a general entering battle we activate this sword. It exists within our own life at this very moment. No devilish function can withstand the power of an AWAKENED lion. We must believe that our voice summons the protection of the universe. The sharpest blade is a mind that refuses to yield. Use this sword to protect your happiness. Use it to carve a clear path forward. The POWER to change your destiny exists in your hands right now.

Namu Myoho Renge Kyo.
