---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In a letter to a follower whose husband had fallen ill, the Daishonin writes:
"'[The] Buddha expounded the medicine of immortality. This is the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo we have today. Moreover, he specifically taught that these five characters are "good medicine for the ills of the people of Jambudvipa [the entire world]" [LSOC23, 330].' (WND-1, 937).
"The Mystic Law is the best medicine for curing the sufferings arising from the human condition, described in Buddhism as birth, aging, sickness, and death.
"As human beings, we all on occasion experience ill health or sickness. We are living in a tumultuous economic climate and many of us may also face financial difficulties at some time or another. But with the great beneficial medicine of the Mystic Law, we have nothing to fear. No matter what happens, if we summon forth even stronger faith, we will be able to elevate our life-condition, bringing forth the indestructible state of Buddhahood from within."
