---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Of course, you're free to live your lives how you like, but don't forget the fundamental path of life.
"The Soka Gakkai teaches us this fundamental path--a path for accumulating good fortune, helping others, and working for peace. That's why we now have so many members around the world, and why our numbers continue to grow steadily. Support and praise for our movement promoting peace, culture, and education is spreading across the globe, transcending all boundaries and divisions.
"Nichiren Daishonin expounded his teaching for the eternal future. There's no need for us to rush or hurry. All the pieces are in place. The tide of history is moving in the direction of humanism. With profound conviction in this truth, please advance with a calm, relaxed, and broad-minded attitude."
