"What a joy it is for us to have been born in the Latter
Day of the Law and to have shared in the propagation of
the Lotus Sutra!"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Shakyamuni also placed importance on the samgha, or the
community of believers, which is regarded as one of the
three treasures of Buddhism. Human relationships—
this case, the organization—
for diligently carrying out Buddhist practice through
interacting with others, thereby making the propagation of
the teachings possible.
"Shin'ichi said with great fervor: 'Mr. Toda held that the
Soka Gakkai organization could be considered as 'Soka
Gakkai Buddha.' The Soka Gakkai has emerged to inherit and
carry out Nichiren Daishonin's instructions to realize
kosen-rufu in the eternal future of the Latter Day of the
Law. That
's why Mr. Toda said that the Soka Gakkai was more
precious to him than his own life.
"'Many of those who are vice leaders can't spend as much
time doing Gakkai activities as they may wish, due to
various circumstances such as their jobs. But even if
their time is limited, they must never retreat even a
single step in their determination.
