Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"To one of his trustworthy lay disciples, the Daishonin writes: 'Can it be that Shakyamuni Buddha or the Bodhisattvas of the Earth have entered into your body? I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province'(WND-1, 1117). Carrying out kosen-rufu in our communities is the sacred task entrusted to us directly by the Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day. That is why the wisdom and power of the Buddha to share the Law with many others flows vibrantly in our chapters, districts, and groups, which are striving in the same spirit as the Daishonin. There is absolutely no doubt that capable Bodhisattvas of the Earth will continue to joyously emerge, and that the heavenly deities will always staunchly protect us.
"The activities of SGI members everywhere and their sincere contributions to society are beacons of hope and reassurance for their local communities.
"Contribute to the enduring prosperity of your beautiful communities, through fostering harmonious relations, enjoying long, fulfilling lives, and bringing happiness to bloom."

"Therefore when we speak of withdrawing or departing, it refers to a 'departure that is not a departure.'"
