---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Chanting daimoku gives us the energy and vitality for limitless progress. It gives us the wisdom and courage to be able to regard any adversity as a cause or opportunity for great development. This is because Myoho-renge-kyo is the name of the fundamental life-force of the universe itself."
