---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"With the beginning of the second chapter of kosen-rufu, the Gakkai will initiate a multifaceted movement that reaches out to society. What should we bear in mind as we head in that direction?"
"Follow the path of mentor and disciple.
"You're wondering what mentor and disciple has to do with it, aren't you? It's like the relationship between centrifugal (outward) and centripetal (inward) forces in rotational motion.

"Follow the path of mentor and disciple.
"You're wondering what mentor and disciple has to do with it, aren't you? It's like the relationship between centrifugal (outward) and centripetal (inward) forces in rotational motion.
"Developing a movement that widely spreads the ideals of Buddhism into society is like a centrifugal, or outward, force. The stronger this centrifugal force becomes, the more important it is to have a powerful centripetal, or inward, force directed towards the teachings of Buddhism. And the source of that 'centripetal force' is the spirit of oneness of mentor and disciple."
