—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism teaches the principle of true cause.
"Our lives always begin from this point onwards. Those who keep advancing with the determination that 'Now is the decisive moment!' will succeed in reaching their goal. Let's play out a triumphant drama in which we can joyously proclaim in the end that we have won.
"Even when things may not always go smoothly and obstacles may stand in our way, all we need to do is chant about everything to the Gohonzon. It's important not to become discouraged, but to continue praying with strong resolve.
"Always base yourself foremost on faith and dedicate yourselves to creating value day after day."
