---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Kosen-rufu is an eternal struggle. Nichiren Daishonin declared valiantly: 'But still I am not discouraged' (WND-1, 748). He continued his struggle to share the correct teachings of Buddhism with others, undaunted by persecution after persecution. That's the spirit of the Daishonin and the Soka Gakkai.
"Many of our members began practising this faith striving earnestly to become happy in the face of desperate circumstances, dealing with illness, family strife, and life's countless problems.
"The only way to overcome all our problems and build a state of indestructible happiness is by practising for oneself and others. As the Daishonin writes: 'You must not only persevere yourself; you must also teach others' (WND-1, 386). While studying Buddhism and chanting earnestly, we also need to dedicate ourselves to sharing the teaching with others, keeping the torch of propagation burning brightly.
"It is because the Soka Gakkai and our members have done just that that so many members have acquired great benefits and demonstrated actual proof of genuine happiness."
