---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dear members of our Soka family! Nichiren Daishonin's words 'I entrust you with the propagation of Buddhism in your province' (WND-1, 1117) are addressed to all of you. You have a truly noble mission. I am keenly aware of your efforts for kosen-rufu in this freezing cold weather.
"The Daishonin writes: 'My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes' (WND-2, 1062).
"Those who keep striving dauntlessly with the heart of a lion king, no matter what happens, will attain Buddhahood. The more actively we are engaged in efforts for kosen-rufu, the more quickly we can transform our karma. We will be able to break through every obstacle we encounter.
"Rouse even more courageous faith, forge ahead as lions, speak out, and resolutely achieve dynamic development in kosen-rufu and in your lives."
SGI Newsletter No. 9162, Opening a New Era of Kosen-rufu Together, (43) May Your Lives Be Adorned with Honour and Benefit, translation released 24th Dec., 2014
