How does one triumph over all karmic impediments?

 —- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT —-

 ”'Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter,' the  Daishonin
says. Before we can welcome spring, we must go through winter. 
Attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime entails a fierce struggle to change our  karma,
as well as to overcome the various challenges posed to our practice
by  the three obstacles and four devils, and the three powerful enemies.The trials of
winter are unavoidable if we wish to soar into a brilliant springtime based on faith.

 ”'Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter'–these
are  the compassionate words of a strict father advising us to follow the sure
path to attaining Buddhahood by battling and triumphing over all karmic
impediments. The way we attain Buddhahood is summed up in the words, 
'Winter always turns to spring.'

 “Winter turns into spring; it does not become autumn. This is an 
unchanging principle of nature. In the same way, the Daishonin says, those who 
uphold the Mystic Law, the great teaching for gaining enlightenment, will 
never fail to become Buddhas or remain in the deluded state of an ordinary, 
unenlightened person. As the Buddha promises in the Lotus Sutra,
those  who hear and embrace the Mystic Law will all attain Buddhahood without a 
single exception (cf. LS2, 41). This is a universal principle of life.”
