---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The general view regards Buddhahood as a distant summit that requires climbing a steep and arduous path to attain.. Reaching it is so difficult that we have no idea if we will ever make it and the task is so all-consuming that we are unable to think of others.
"But Nichiren Buddhism offers a completely different view of attaining Buddhahood. It teaches that anyone can reach the summit of Buddhahood instantly. This is the great power of the Mystic Law—the teaching that embracing the Gohonzon is in itself observing one's own mind,* or attaining enlightenment.
"In other words, in any given instant, we can—just as we are and wherever we may be--attain Buddhahood and, from that lofty summit, serenely gaze upon our surroundings and circumstances."
The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [38] A Compass Guiding us to Lives Brimming with Joy and Pride, From Buddhahood Back to the Nine Worlds, June 2018 issue of Daibyaku-renge, the Soka Gakkai monthly journal. Translation released March 2019.
* "Embracing the Gohonzon is in itself observing one's own mind": In other words, through faith in the Gohonzon, one can tap the Mystic Law inherent in one's life and attain Buddahood.
