---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Life is long,one point I wish to emphasise: I can affirm that none of you who uphold the Mystic Law is destined to be unhappy.

"We should warmly support and watch over those struggling with mental health issues, keeping their long-term welfare always in mind, and also sincerely encourage their family members. Those caring for others with emotional or psychological disorders face a great challenge, too, and they should try to find creative ways to take a break and refresh themselves.

"Showing care and support for those suffering from emotional illnesses will lead to the cultivation of a truly deep spirit of compassion and also to the creation of a richly humanistic society."

SGI Newsletter No. 9263, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, Chapter 11: "Illness Gives Rise to the Resolve to Attain the Way," 11.2 Transforming the Sufferings of Birth, Aging, Sickness, and Death, from the June 2015 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released 6th July, 2015
