---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Having decided that the time had come for the Soka Gakkai to 'cast off the transient and reveal the true,' Mr. Toda cited a passage from the Daishonin's writings: 'I entreat the people of this country: Do not look down upon my disciples!' (WND-1, 788). No one is nobler than the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, who chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for the happiness of themselves and others in the evil age of the Latter Day of the Law. The Daishonin declared such persons to be incomparably superior to the founders of various other schools of Buddhism (cf. WND-1, 788). These Bodhisattvas of the Earth are none other than the members of the Soka Gakkai. Through talking one to one, knee to knee, Mr. Toda declared, they would achieve kosen-rufu.

"May 3rd each year is a time when we stand up anew with the supreme pride of our mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, the sun of time without beginning shining brightly in our lives. It is a time when we confidently take a fresh step forwards, joyfully engaging in dialogue to share our convictions with others."
