"Even when Jakusho and other priests set out from Japan to take some sutras to China, no one was found there who could embrace these sutras and teach them to others. It was as though there were only wooden or stone statues garbed in priests' robes and carrying begging bowls."
(On the Buddha's Prophecy - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 401) Selection source: Soka Gakkai President Harada's encouragement, Seikyo Shimbun, October 22nd, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
In a work of his final years, Tolstoy wrote: "Each person's task in life is to become an increasingly better person." In essence, this is human revolution. Without this, any social revolution would be incomplete. According to Tolstoy, "If you see that the society is organized badly; and you would like to correct it, you should realize that there is only one way for society to improve. Everyone must improve. To improve everyone, you have only one method under your control-you must become a better person yourself."
