---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"If someone who is a leader just goes through the motions of fulfilling their responsibility, without making any real effort, they won't be able to transform their state of life or change their karma. It is by taking on hard work and striving steadfastly for kosen-rufu, the Soka Gakkai, and the well-being of others that we achieve deep and lasting happiness."
