---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The [Lotus Sutra] reads, ". . . where living beings enjoy themselves at ease" [LSOC16, 272]. How could this passage mean anything but the boundless joy of the Law? Surely you are included among the "living beings." "Where" means Jambudvipa [the entire world], and Japan lies within Jambudvipa.'
- From "Happiness in This World" (WND-1, 681).

"Why have we been born in this world? The answer is to attain true happiness. Our practice of Nichiren Buddhism is the ultimate way to achieve that.
"'You are included,' says the Daishonin. Each one of us, without exception, can open a vast state of life in which we 'enjoy ourselves at ease.'
"'"Where" means [the entire world],' he states. Anywhere we find ourselves in the world, we can expand our triumphant network of human revolution.
"Let's steadfastly chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and forge ahead with courage and optimism to lead lives of unsurpassed joy."
