By encouraging one another,
together, let's make the memories
of our present life in this human world!*

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Winter always turns to spring' (WND-1, 536)—these are words of the Daishonin that members throughout the world have engraved deeply in their hearts and cherish as a source of hope in their Buddhist practice. There are surely no words that more succinctly express the essence of human revolution.
"In these words, I can keenly sense the Daishonin's heart —his conviction that we can overcome any obstacle and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime without fail."
The Buddhism of the Sun-illuminating the World, [32] A Religion of Human Revolution—Part 12, Encouraging Those Suffering the Most, December 2017 edition of Daibyaku-renge, translation released August 2018
