By doing so we're creating
a wellspring of confidence and courage

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of the lion king, never to be laughed at by the pack of foxes. It is hard to encounter a master like Nichiren, who since distant kalpas in the past down to the present day has never begrudged his body or life in order to expose the faults of his powerful enemies!"
(In the Continent of Jambudvīpa
- WND, Vol. 2, page 1062)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Remember that the happiness of the members is our goal, and that the organisation is nothing more than a means to achieving that end. In that context, it's all right to be strict about such things as attitude towards faith but, in running the organisation, always solicit everyone's opinions, respect the autonomy of each individual, and aim to create a democratic and harmonious organisation."
