---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'It is the power of the Buddhist Law that enables the deities of the sun and moon to make their rounds of the four continents'(WND-1, 685). The entire universe moves in accord with the fundamental rhythm of the Mystic Law. By vibrantly chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as we keep moving forwards and striving to surmount all hardships and problems that come our way, our lives fall in sync with the ultimate law of the universe.
"Just after being released from my unjust arrest in Osaka in 1957, I sent a letter to the members in Kansai, in which I wrote: 'Let's pledge to press ahead undaunted by any difficulty or setback. Life is a struggle to the very end.'
"Our times are growing more troubled day by day. Losing courage will only leave one at the mercy of ever-changing circumstances."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
