Let's become the type of person who can lift other people's spirits
and help them to have confidence.
A person like that is indeed a true leader.
Let's do our very best to help our fellow members by
giving warm and kind support and taking thoughtful and
considerate action for the sake of their happiness.

"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king
and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king
fears no other beast, nor do its cubs."
(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 996) Selection source:

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Buddha became enlightened to the fundamental power that connects all
things in the universe--namely, the Mystic Law. He also awakened to the fact
that all people have the potential to manifest the power of this Law in
their own lives. This potential is what in Buddhism is termed as the Buddha
nature or Dharma nature. Only when each of us brings forth the wisdom of our
enlightened Buddha nature can we truly actualise the unity of diverse
individuals as taught in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. Because we each rise
above our attachment to self and reveal our highest potential and
individuality, the path of 'many in body, one in mind' becomes a path for
absolute victory.
"We must also remember that, through manifesting the wisdom of our Buddha
nature, we can break free of the darkness or ignorance that would keep us
trapped in the paths of evil and suffering. The spirit of many in body but
one in mind doesn't refer to the kind of unity that is achieved through
external constraints or demands for conformity, but to a unity that is a
manifestation of the wisdom of our Buddha nature resulting from a
fundamental liberation in the innermost depths of our lives. It is a unity
based on aligning our own hearts with the heart of the Buddha."
