---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Buddhism is not an abstraction or empty idealism. Soka Gakkai members striving earnestly for kosen-rufu are incomparably noble entities of the Mystic Law who enjoy the full wisdom and power of all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas throughout the universe. I hope that each of you will triumph resolutely over every difficulty you face, proud of the unsurpassed life you are leading and with a deep awareness of the infinite and immeasurable good fortune you possess.--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"... chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Continue your practice without backsliding until the final moment of your life, and when that time comes, behold! When you climb the mountain of perfect enlightenment and gaze around you in all directions, then to your amazement you will see that the entire realm of phenomena is the Land of Tranquil Light. The ground will be of lapis lazuli, and the eight paths will be set apart by golden ropes. Four kinds of flowers will fall from the heavens, and music will resound in the air. All Buddhas and bodhisattvas will be presentin complete joy, caressed by the breezes of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity. The time is fast approaching when we too will count ouselves among their number."(The Fourteen Slanders - The Writings of NichirenDaishonin, page 760)
