---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There may be some members who are not able to attend as many meetings as they would like right now. There may be others who have distanced themselves from the organisation for a long time. But they are all Bodhisattvas of the Earth who have embraced the Mystic Law, being 'blessed with great good fortune from past existences' (LSOC27, 356). The seeds of Buddhahood sown in the fields of their hearts cannot fail to sprout, grow, and flower. That is why we must chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with strong faith and send waves of 'the greatest of all joys' (OTT, 212) into the hearts of our fellow members, why we must persevere in our sincere efforts to visit and encourage them.
"Soka experts in the art of encouragement don the 'robe of gentleness and patience' (cf. LSOC10, 207) and display the compassionate spirit of warmly embracing and accepting everyone.
"Even if someone doesn't immediately make a fresh determination to stand up in faith and participate in SGI activities, there's no need to be impatient. Based on the principle of 'three thousand realms in a single moment of life,' your every prayer and action, and the message you impart, will function to produce future changes."
SGI Newsletter No. 9370, Joining in the Joyous Dance of Kosen-rufu, from the April 2016 issue of Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal, translation released 18th March, 2016.
