"Now, no matter what, strive in faith and be known as a votary of the Lotus
Sutra, and remain my disciple for the rest of your life. If you are of the
same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth."
(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 385)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A true lion, a person of genuine courage, stands up to those who use their
authority to exploit or intimidate others. Mr. Toda was such a lion. In the
course of our struggle--which could also be described as a fierce battle for
human rights here in Japan--I always rushed to my mentor's side whenever he
called me, even if it was the middle of the night. His tough yet
compassionate training made me into the person I am. On his release from
prison for his opposition to the demands of the all-powerful militarist
authorities, Mr. Toda's health was seriously compromised, but his heart
burned with even greater fervour than before. In the midst of adversity, he
once said to me: 'I'm a lion. Daisaku, you're a lion, too. 'Lion' is a
symbol for the oneness of mentor and disciple. Both the mentor and the
disciple must boldly keep on winning.' I will never forget those words. They
will always remain indelibly engraved in my heart. I have fought like a lion
all my life. And I have won. I want the youth to fight like lions, too, and
triumph in every struggle. I'm counting on you!"
"In the severe economic downturn the world is currently facing, it is all
the more important for our members everywhere to bravely weather and triumph
over every obstacle with the tremendous life-force of a charging lion."
