---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin teaches that sincere faith in the Mystic Law, and even chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo just once, is a source of immeasurable benefit. With that conviction and the determination to strive in your Buddhist practice with courage, confidence and joy, your life state will expand limitlessly and you will acuminate ever-growing good fortune. Our Buddhist practice is not an obligation; it is our greatest privilege. The key to faith in Nichiren Buddhism lies in the subtle shift in our mind-set"
The New Human Revolution - Volume 30, Vow 81, translation released August 2018.
