---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin's Buddhism is indeed a philosophy of hope. The Daishoninwrites: 'Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, butwinter always turns to spring' (WND-1, 536). As symbolised by these words,those who live out their lives based on the Mystic Law will never bedeadlocked. They can surmount the most difficult of trials and carry on witheven greater hope. People with hope in their hearts are always vibrant andenergetic. A Buddhist scripture says that hope has the power to nourish thebody and lengthen life."
