The first thing is to pray. From the moment we begin to pray, things start moving. The darker the night, the closer the dawn. From the moment we chant daimoku (Buddhist chant) with a deep and powerful resolve, the sun begins to shine in our hearts. Hope prayer is the sun of hope. To chant daimoku each time we face a problem, overcoming it and elevating our life condition as a result of this is the path of ``changing earthly desires into enlightenment,'' taught in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
