"All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim. This spiritual bond is the basis for the universal transmission of the ultimate Law of life and death."

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We treasure others not only to help them overcome their sufferings as individuals. By awakening to the infinite value of their own lives through our support, they can move away from a passive stance of seeking help from others, to making efforts to help others. They go from being merely recipients of encouragement to people who are able to encourage others. They undergo a human revolution, becoming people who can treasure others. By triumphing over their hardships and turning them into valuable experiences that offer courage and hope to others, those who once overwhelmed by karmic suffering become strong. This is what it means to change karma into mission."
