---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is a battle against the darkness or ignorance that shrouds the truth that we ourselves are Buddhas. That's why it requires serious dedication. Through chanting daimoku, we can conquer our doubts and break through the shell of our lesser self. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo Is the fundamental power that can transform even sorrow into a wellspring of creativity."
