Learning is a light
and knowledge is power.
As long as we are willing
As long as we are willing

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: 'the Buddha nature of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, being summoned, will rejoice' (WND-1, 887). He is saying that through prayers based on our vow to strive for kosen-rufu, we can literally awaken and summon forth the Buddha nature of the entire universe, make it our ally, and attain a state of supreme happiness.
Our practice of chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo not only calls forth the Buddha nature of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas but also causes them to rejoice. With the lions roar of daimoku, we can keep striving and stay upbeat and energised. The Buddhas and heavenly deities, greatly delighted, will lend us their protection, enabling us to help many others attain genuine, unsurpassed happiness as well.
