---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Reflecting deeply on the Daishonin's bold and courageous actions, let us engrave in our lives this passage from one of his writings composed on Sado:

"'Among all the persons since the beginning of our present kalpa who have incurred the wrath of their parents or their rulers and have been exiled to distant islands, there can be none who overflow with joy as we do. Therefore, wherever we dwell and practice the single vehicle (the Lotus Sutra), that place will be the Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light. (WND-1, 313; 'Reply to Sairen-bo')

"As the direct successors of the Daishonin, no matter what adversity we face or what negative karma assails us, we continue to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and confront all our challenges with courage and joy until we triumph resolutely in the place of our mission. That is the spirit of Soka mentors and disciples."

34th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting, Message, May 13th, 2018, Win in the Place of Your Mission, translation released June 2018
