---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our daily practice of gongyo and chanting daimoku also has a significance linked to the Ceremony in the Air. The Daishonin writes:

"This mandala [the Gohonzon] is in no way my invention. It is the object of devotion that depicts Shakyamuni Buddha, the World-Honoured One, seated in the treasure tower of Many Treasures Buddha, and the Buddhas who were Shakyamuni's emanations as perfectly as a print matches its woodblock. (WND-1, 831)

"As this passage indicates, the Gohonzon is a depiction of the Ceremony in the Air.

"Through chanting earnestly before the Gohonzon, we make a vow for kosen-rufu, and then take action in society. Because of that vow, limitless power wells forth within us as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, filling us with courage and wisdom.

"'I will open the way for kosen-rufu! I will challenge this task today! I will lead the way to victory!'"
