---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The faith one shows at a crucial moment is decisive. Directly after the Tatsunokuchi Persecution, the Daishonin's disciples in Kamakura faced a storm of persecution so intense that the Daishonin wrote that "999 out of 1,000 people . . . gave up their faith" (WND-1, 469). He also reflected: 'If they have not given way in their practice, they have done so in their heart. Or if they have not given way in their heart, they have done so in their practice' (WND-1, 941).
