---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The cause for brilliant achievement is created in the midst of our hardest-fought efforts. Indeed, those earnest struggles themselves will become wonderful stories of brilliant achievement that live on forever.

"We have daimoku, the ultimate victory cry of life--our chanting itself a vow to triumph over all.

"In his writing titled 'How those initially aspiring to the way can attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra,' the Daishonin clearly states:

"'When once we chant Myoho-renge-kyo, with just that single sound we summon forth and manifest the Buddha nature of all Buddhas; all existences; all bodhisattvas; all voice-hearers; all the deities such as Brahma, Shakra, and King Yama; the sun and moon, and the myriad stars; the heavenly gods and earthly deities, on down to hell-dwellers, hungry spirits, animals, asuras, human and heavenly beings, and all other living beings. This blessing is immeasurable and boundless. (WND-1, 887)

"Today again, let's resonantly chance Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and call forth the Buddha nature in our families, our friends, our districts, and our nations, thereby realising brilliant achievement ourselves and helping others do the same."

Making 2018 a Year of Everlasting Brilliant Achievement, from the January 2018 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released March 2018
