---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A beautiful sunset foretells a wonderful new day. The sun setting with golden brilliance in the western sky promises bright, clear skies on the dawn. In the same way, a serene and peaceful death in this world assures eternal happiness.

"Those who have dedicated themselves unstintingly to kosen-rufu will enjoy the vast life state of the Buddhahood throughout the three existences of past, present and future.

"So let us advance along the path to attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime! Let us devote this life to working for kosen-rufu! — that is the powerful message of Nichiren Daishonin."

35th Soka Gakkai Headquarters Leaders' Meeting (June 2nd, 2018), excerpt from video from Jan. 7th, 1997, June 13th, 2018, Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July, 2018.
