There is absolutely no strategy that betters the strategy of practicing this
faith.
Based on the spirit of continually having a heart of appreciation
let's strongly determine to achieve the Victory of Soka.
To all of our youth,
now is the time for you to really stand up and shine!

"Who, then, is the votary of the Lotus Sutra? Let us seek
him out and make him our teacher."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often used to remark:
'When it comes to battling serious karma and doing our human revolution,
huge obstacles and hardships can in fact serve as a powerful impetus,
propelling us forwards. Just ambling along a level road won't help us change
our karma.' The greater the difficulties and challenges we encounter, the
greater the life-state we can develop. Therefore, we mustn't be intimidated
by 'the three obstacles and four devils' --that is, the obstacles and
hindrances that invariably arise in the course of our Buddhist practise.
With wisdom derived from faith, we should see through such phenomena,
recognising them for what they are, based on Nichiren Daishonin's teachings,
and regarding their occurrence as an opportunity to change our karma. We
should then stand up with even deeper conviction and courage, chanting
daimoku with unwavering resolve and forging boldly ahead."
