---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When practitioners of the Lotus Sutra endeavour to propagate its teachings in the real world, great opposition arises, a manifestation of the function of the devil king of the sixth heaven that resides in people's lives.
"Those who are awakened to the dignity of life and inherent goodness of human beings courageously take action for the happiness of themselves and others. In contrast, those who do not have faith in the enormous potential and inner goodness of human beings deny the dignity of others. People whose lives are ruled by the insidiously manipulative workings of the devil king of the sixth heaven attack people to prevent them from becoming happy through faith in the Mystic Law.
"The Lotus Sutra teaches that all people are precious and irreplaceable, everyone equally possessing the right to fully realise their unique individuality and become happy. Those who have awakened to this truth cannot but take a stand against evils that devalue life and violate human rights.
"The only way to defeat the forces that regard people with contempt is for each person to carry out human revolution, thereby spreading the philosophy of respect for life and human dignity."
