Ceaseless Efforts Lead to Great Progress

# data[].attributes.body
Where there is challenge, there is progress.
Where there is challenge, there is hope.
Where there is challenge, there is joy.
Where there is challenge, there is happiness.
Where there is challenge, there is victory.

All things in the universe
are constantly engaged in challenge.
Flowers strive to break through the deep snows
to send up new sprouts.
Waves crash tirelessly against rocks on the shore,
wearing them down.
Day after day, the sun bursts forth from the darkness
and emerges joyously.
All things quietly and tenaciously persevere,
working unceasingly to fulfill their unique mission,
whether seen or unseen.
Challenge!
Challenge!
Challenge!
That is what it means to be alive.

We will take on the challenge ~~
to teach one friend after another the way to happiness,
for the sake of peace and prosperity for all people;
to stand defiant
in the face of the fierce storms of our karma,
so we can demonstrate the true potential of human beings;
to lead a life in which we can enjoy ourselves
at ease (see the Lotus Sutra and it's opening and closing Sutras, p. 272),
so we can proudly declare how happy we are!

I will keep moving forward ~~
for my single, small step today
will eventually forge a great path!
I will not be defeated~~
for I know that, even after dark nights of raging blizzards,
the sun of victory will rise again tomorrow without fail!

"The Buddha says, 'After I [Shakyamuni] have passed into extinction, in the last five-hundred-year period you must spread it [the Lotus Sutra] abroad widely throughout Jambudvīpa [the entire world].'” - WND1, p441

Let us be the source of hope and inspiration for the dynamic progress of each other. :)

“The full mission of the Soka Group is to be the driving force for the advance of kosen-rufu, and to make the entire Soka Gakkai strong so that it will endure into the far-distant future.

Nichiren Daishonin writes, 'Those who become Nichiren’s disciples and lay believers should realize the profound karmic relationship they share with him and spread the Lotus Sutra as he does' (WND1. 994) Kosen-rufu is the great wish of the Daishonin, and carrying it out is a fundamental requirement of discipleship. As such, the practice of Nichiren Buddhism is practice for oneself and others, of which sharing this teaching is an indispensable part. The Daishonin’s successor, Nikko Shonin, declares, 'Until kosen-rufu is achieved, propagate the Law to the full extent of your ability without begrudging your life' (GZ, 1618). Those who dedicate their lives to kosen-rufu are genuine disciples of the Daishonin and successors to his teachings.
......
The vast spirit of the Daishonin and the life state of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth pulse within the actions of those who recognize their mission to achieve kosen-rufu by helping others achieve happiness and propagating Nichiren’s teachings."
