---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Shortly after achieving his lifetime goal of 750,000 member households 60 years ago, Mr. Toda offered three guidelines on the purpose of our Buddhist faith and practice. I later added two more (in December 2003). Together, they represent the five eternal guidelines of the Soka Gakkai:
(1) Faith for a harmonious family
(2) Faith for achieving happiness
(3) Faith for overcoming obstacles
(4) Faith for health and long life
(5) Faith for absolute victory
"Let us lead as many people as possible to this brilliant path of life. Nichiren Daishonin states: 'If one can establish a relationship with even just one phrase of the Wonderful Law, that relationship will continue unbroken over a million kalpas' (OTT, 219). By sharing Nichiren Buddhism with others, we help people form a connection with it. Even if they do not decide to begin practising right away, they have forged an everlasting tie for attaining happiness. It will become a brilliant source of victory and a treasure or peace.
"Determined to make even greater efforts, let us set out into the year of a brilliant achievement, making it a year in which everyone will triumph and shine!"
(22) The Aim of Nichiren Buddhism Is to Achieve happiness and Victory, From the Dec. 18th, 2017 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released Jan. 2018.
