sensei guidance

"The Daishonin writes:"'My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to belaughed at by the pack of foxes.

It is hard to encounter a master likeNichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day hasnever begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of hispowerful enemies.' (WND-2, 1062)."

The cubs of the lion king have the potential to become lion kings as well.In order to do so, they need to struggle selflessly, brimming with thespirit of propagating the Daishonin's Buddhism. Embodying the mentor'sspirit means fighting against and defeating powerful enemies."

The essence of leading a noble existence is to be found in you who are dedicatedto kosen-rufu."The Scottish poet Robert Blair (1699-1746) wrote: 'Those only are the bravethat keep their ground, / And keep it to the last.'"
