---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In 'On Repaying Debts of Gratitude,' the Daishonin writes: 'A hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss cannot compare to the benefit gained from one day's practice in the impure world' (WND-1, 736).
"We must never forget to advance with 'faith for overcoming obstacles' and with the solid unity of 'many in body, one in mind,' just as Mr. Toda taught.
"Each day spent chanting together, talking together, and striving for kosen-rufu will become a golden memory. All the efforts we make to encourage and foster others will shine on in our lives as unsurpassed treasures."
SGI Newsletter No. 9365, Creating the New Era, (6) Towards a Springtime Filled, from 13th February, 2016, issue of the Seikyo Shinbun, translation released 4th March, 2016
