"Moreover, it is extremely difficult to meet a person who expounds this sutra exactly as the sutra directs. It is even more difficult than for a one-eyed turtle to find a piece of floating sandalwood, or for someone to hang Mount Sumeru from the sky with the fibre from a lotus stem."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, the Daishonin says: "Now when Nichiren chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, he is enabling all living beings to attain Buddhahood in the 10,000 years of the Latter Day of the Law" (OTT, 41.)
"Anyone who strives in accord with the Daishonin's teachings can attain Buddhahood.
"The Daishonin says "in the 10,000 years of the Latter Day of the Law" (OTT, 41) and "for 10,000 years and more" (WND – 1, 736.) Let us set forth on a magnificent, hope-filled new start in our efforts for kosen-rufu, aiming towards the future, 10,000 years hence."
From a speech delivered at the Soka Renaissance Victory Leaders' Meeting, Tokyo, Nov. 30th, 1991, republished in the Daibyaku Renge August, 2017, translation released June, 2018.*
