---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The small group is the ideal place to share Buddhism with others on a one-to-one basis, to do our utmost to help each person stand up in faith, and to strive to bring out the infinitely noble Buddha nature of each person—member and non-member alike.

"The small group is the ideal place to share Buddhism with others on a one-to-one basis, to do our utmost to help each person stand up in faith, and to strive to bring out the infinitely noble Buddha nature of each person—member and non-member alike.
"President Toda declared: 'The Gakkai's strength lies in the dynamic, surging energy of those striving on the front lines of our movement.' This was his firm conviction.
"Let us once again stir a mighty groundswell of kosen-rufu, cheerfully and harmoniously praying and striving to make our groups and districts a shining model for others!"
