Like the sun that is always shining, victory belongs to those who persevere tenaciously.\u00a0 In any endeavor, the outcome is never certain till the very end.<\/span>\u200b<\/h4>\n

Kimura:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>How do we become like the sun?<\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

Ikeda:\u00a0 There is no special secret.\u00a0 Just continue chanting\u00a0<\/span>daimoku<\/span>\u00a0everyday, at your own pace.\u00a0 Even just a little at a time is fine.\u00a0 If you chant\u00a0<\/span>daimoku<\/span>, the sun will begin to rise in your lives quite naturally.\u00a0 Just as the sun rises each day, just as your mother prepares meals for you each day, you must have the spirit to keep striving, to study hard and to go to school each day.\u00a0 From this, we can learn something important.\u00a0 If you abandon what you have to do, you\u2019re the one who loses out.\u00a0 Therefore, you must never give up.<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

The sun rises every day.\u00a0 On cloudy days, stormy days, in winter or summer, the sun is always shining.\u00a0 This is a law of the universe.\u00a0 No one can deny that truth.\u00a0 We, too, must live each day of our lives to the fullest.\u00a0 It makes sense that we do so.\u00a0 Victory belongs to those who persevere tenaciously in such efforts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n

No matter what your present situation, the final outcome of all your endeavors will be determined at your life\u2019s end.\u00a0 For instance, in baseball, the winning team isn\u2019t decided until the last out of the final inning.\u00a0 In any endeavor, the outcome is never certain till the very end.\u00a0 It\u2019s not decided at the beginning.\u00a0 As the English saying goes, \u201cHe who laughs best laughs last.\u201d<\/span>\u200b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
