I imagine that some of you have family members who are not yet practicing
Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. There is no need to be impatient or to agonize
over this. Whether people take faith has to do with their mystic connection with
Buddhism, which takes a variety of forms. Important is the presence of one
person who is practicing. One person's attainment of Buddhahood brings happiness
to family members and all those around him or her. When a single sun rises,
everything is illuminated.
