---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As practitioners of the Daishonin's Buddhism, no matter what our circumstances, we are able to bring forth wisdom and compassion through faith and make our own lives and those of others shine brightly. This is the way we of the SGI live our lives.
"That is why using our wisdom to stay fit and healthy is also important. Faith means having both the wisdom to prevent illness and to deal with illness appropriately should it arise so that we can continue creating value with our lives. For instance, when we have overcome a serious illness or are still in the early stages of recovery, we should take care not to overexert ourselves. This is also vital wisdom for regaining our health. When we fall ill, we shouldn't be impatient or forget to be careful. When we need to rest, we should listen to our bodies and not overdo things. Once we have fully regained our health, we can devote ourselves to Gakkai activities again as energetically as we like."
