---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"If we challenge our human revolution with the confidence that we will gain final victory in life, we will be able to greatly expand our state of being. We will be able to attain a life-state of boundless freedom that will allow us to embrace all hardships and sorrows like a great ocean. The time will definitely come when the significance of all our experiences will become clear.
"For that reason, it is vital that we keep forging ahead based on chanting daimoku in both times of suffering and times of joy. Then, in times of suffering, we will find the wisdom to change poison to medicine, and in times of joy, we will be able to proceed in even higher spirits. We will be great 'ordinary people' with lofty states of life who embody the Daishonin's words, 'Suffer what there is to suffer and enjoy what there is to enjoy'(WND-1, 681)."

"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to produce water from parched ground."
