---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A new year has begun for our blue planet that is ever in motion, rotating on its axis and revolving around the sun.
"With fresh energy, let's make our inner sun of time without beginning shine brilliantly, as we tirelessly continue our efforts to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime for our own happiness and to realise kosen-rufu for the happiness of all humanity.

"A new year has begun for our blue planet that is ever in motion, rotating on its axis and revolving around the sun.
"With fresh energy, let's make our inner sun of time without beginning shine brilliantly, as we tirelessly continue our efforts to attain Buddhahood in this lifetime for our own happiness and to realise kosen-rufu for the happiness of all humanity.
"These efforts are powered by our prayers as practitioners of the Lotus Sutra. Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, declares:
"'Though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.' (WND-1, 345; 'On Prayer')"
