"This life is like a dream. One cannot be sure that one will live until
tomorrow. However wretched a beggar you might become, never disgrace the
Lotus Sutra."

Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 824)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'A Buddha is looked up to as the Hero of the
World' (WND-1, 835). 'Hero of the World' refers to those who rise up amidst
the turmoil of contemporary society, fight their hardest for the welfare of
the people, and achieve resounding victory."
