"... who chants the daimoku, is the Thus Come One's emissary. Also, one who perseveres through great persecutions and embraces the sutra from beginning to end is the Thus Come One's emissary."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The power of words derives from the human heart. The mind, the heart, is what lies beneath the words themselves and gives them life. Nichiren Daishonin observes: 'Words echo the thoughts of the mind and find expression through the voice' (WND-2, 843). The same words can have very different degrees of power, too, depending on the depth of the hearts of those who speak them."
