—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I pray for your health and long life and for your success in all endeavours. I am sending you daimoku. I hope you will all pray, too. Pray that instead of devils or negative, destructive forces infiltrating your being, Brahma, Shakra, and the gods of the sun and the moon—positive, protective forces of the universe—will enter your life! Pray that they will enter the lives of all members in your region and the entire membership of the SGI, as well. If you do this, your strength will multiply a hundredfold, a thousandfold. With such prayer, with such faith, you will be able to realize a fundamental transformation in the very depths of your life. It is the secret to achieving your human revolution. . . .

"That is why we will never be defeated. Let us move forward with this invincible conviction.
