"Therefore, it is no longer acceptable for anybody to compromise their dreams. It is no longer acceptable that you just accept suffering as your reality. You know, and sometimes, it's subtle. Sometimes, It's subtle. You know. It just seems like maybe things aren't changing. So we can easily fall pray to just buying that this the best that it's gonna it get. This new departure is a new departure for every single one of us. to wake up the faith of a brand new member inside of us. To look at the gohonzon with fresh new eyes of possibility, to really seak out our mentor. To study everything that he's writing right now trying to teach us the amazing power of our faith. to study the gosho. And I think it means also, that we will support each other in faith, support each other in terms of really being there and encouraging each other to never retreat, to never give in to any obstacle and to realize what president Ikeda said in March of this year, he said, "sincere earnest prayer is the quickest route to accomplishing anything." Prayer is the source of our strength, prayer is the source of our power. So it's really returning to prayer, not the strategy of our head first, the strategy of prayer first. and that when we really pray sincerely for, what do i need to do to change this problem. that wisdom is inside of us, it's always has been. but it needs that sort of sincere prayer." -Linda Johnson 2007.6.24.
