"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'My disciples, do not fear! Don't let this golden opportunity slip away! Now is the time to stand up with courage. Based on correct faith, become a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and remain a loyal disciple of Nichiren Daishonin as long as you live!'--Shin'ichi felt this impassioned call of the Daishonin roar through his heart like thunder.
"Shin'ichi asserted: 'Standing up with the awareness that we are disciples of Nichiren, in terms of our concrete practice, is committing ourselves to the Soka Gakkai, striving for kosen-rufu, and living out our lives in the spirit of 'many in body, one in mind'.
"'Directly linked to the life of Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law who battled the three powerful enemies, the Soka Gakkai is the sole organisation carrying out kosen-rufu in complete accord with his teachings.'"
