Faith in the realm of Nichiren Buddhism is not a matter of simply chanting to the Goho and expecting things to automatically go well. We need to chant and make efforts, make efforts and chant; by doing so, we can activate the positive functions of the universe to work on our behalf.

ただ拝んで、目先の幸運を欲するという浅い次元の信仰ではない。祈って努力し、努力して祈る──その時に、諸天善神は動くのだ。
