---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"True disciples are willing to take on hardship or persecution in their mentor's stead. For instance, when Mr. Toda accompanied Mr. Makiguchi to prison, he prayed:"I am still young, but Mr. Makiguchi is old. May my mentor be released from prison as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how long I stay here, but let my mentor go free right away!" This was his deep and fervent prayer day and night. "
"The essence of Buddhism is found in the spirit of striving with the same commitment as the mentor. If this rigorous spirit is lost, the very foundation of Buddhism will be destroyed. Therefore, those who genuinely seek to carry on the correct teaching of Buddhism must always remember to maintain this spirit and take action based on it. "
