May 11 Nichiren urges us to earnestly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, even just once or twice, stressing that if we do so we will definitely attain enlightenment. Now some might immediately think: All right! Ill just put faith aside and take it easy, then embrace faith seriously a year before I die. But Nichirens words in this instance are meant to spur his followers to devote greater efforts to their Buddhist practice, emphasizing the beneficial power of chanting even a single daimoku. The correct way to read the Gosho is to always interpret Nichirens words from the standpoint of strengthening our faith. Daisaku Ikeda, SGI President
