—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Regard your service to your lord as the practice of the Lotus Sutra' (WND – 1, 905). In other words, he is encouraging us to regard our work as part of our Buddhist practice.

"These immortal words have served as a guideline inspiring fellow members who are giving their all in society today. Praying for the successful development of society and our workplaces they are determined to make where they are the stage of their mission, to carry out their human revolution and to demonstrate the validity of Nichiren Buddhism. Their invincible spirit has won them the admiration and trust of leaders in the business world and other fields."

On the Wings of Your Dreams, from the May 1st, 2017, issue of the Future Journal. Translation released June 2018.
