---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Guo Moruo (1892-1978) was a noted Chinese author. A colleague of Chinese premier Zhou Enlai (1898-1976), he also showed a warm and deep understanding of the Soka Gakkai.
"Guo wrote: 'Nothing moves the human heart like song.' Song has always played an important role in the Soka Gakkai's development and growth. Guo's words are very perceptive. Songs inspire and energise us. Mr. Toda was also well aware of this. In Japan, our advance has always begun with the singing of Gakkai songs. This is a wonderful path. Let's continue singing songs together.
"Guo also wrote: 'Song instantly unites people's hearts and minds, and spurs them to action.' Song has a wondrous power. People who make light of that and refuse to join in singing will not share the same energy and joy. Let's all sing together, for the sake of kosen-rufu, and to elevate our lives-- that's the purpose of Gakkai songs. Mr. Toda also loved singing.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"
