---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Expectations around the world are rising for the humanistic ideals that we of the Soka Gakkai are promoting. The bright eyes and brilliant smiles of our youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth shine as a source of a hope for changing our times and building a better world.
"We have entered a new phase of development in our movement for kosen-rufu --the compassionate propagation of the Mystic Law—with courageous young bodhisattvas now 'emerging at the same instant' (cf. LSOC15, 252) all over the globe.
"Let us further expand and demonstrate the vitality and strength of 'Soka Gakkai Buddha,' breathing life into the Buddhism of the people and fulfilling the great vow to spread the Mystic Law throughout the entire world!"
