"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realised this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who had heard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddha lands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,'cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 217)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A few simple words can suffice. When we summon forth the courage of the Buddhahood within us and share our own honest experiences of the joy of faith and the greatness of the Daishonin's Buddhism, we will be able to touch the lives of those with whom we are talking and enable them to form a connection with Mystic Law."
