---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo when you are suffering, you can quite naturally overcome that suffering, almost without being aware of it. Often it's only when you look back that you realise it.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Through chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo when you are suffering, you can quite naturally overcome that suffering, almost without being aware of it. Often it's only when you look back that you realise it.
"I hope you will also chant for your friends. That is the greatest expression of friendship.
"…Whatever the case may be, the best thing you can do is to chant for them. Your prayers, like radio waves, though invisible, will definitely reach them.
"It is also important to chant for those you don't like, find hard to get along with, or feel resentful towards. It may be difficult and perhaps even impossible for you to do so at first. But if you keep trying and chant for them, the situation will change. Perhaps you will change, or they will change. Either way, the situation will move in a more positive direction. Many people have experienced this first hand. Above all, becoming a person who is able to chant for the happiness of such challenging individuals will be your greatest fortune."
