---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"All of you, just as you are, with your honesty and integrity, are great individuals. From the perspective of Buddhism, ordinary people taking action for kosen-rufu and the Mystic Law are thousands of times more admirable than the graduates of any prestigious university. Academic credentials should never become justification for special privileges or the cause for self-important behaviour within the Soka Gakkai. The purpose of a university education is to enable one to contribute to society and to the welfare of others. Protecting the people, the just and honest--that's what education is for. Individuals who can do that are truly great.
"A person's genuine greatness is not determined by their academic background or social status, but by their faith, actions, and their character. The Soka Gakkai has grown to the extent it has through the efforts of ordinary people who possess invincible faith in the Mystic Law. It is crucial to never forget this fact.
