"When one comes to the end of one's good fortune, no strategy whatsoever avails. When one's karmic rewards are exhausted, even one's retainers no longer follow one."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
The Bodhisattvas of the Earth who appear at the great assembly of the Lotus Sutra are said to be 'like the lotus flower in the water' (LSOC15, 263)--in other words, resembling the lotus, which grows in the deepest mire or muddy water to produce the purist and most beautiful blossoms.
"In our world filled with troubles, some of our members are having problems at work while others are struggling with financial difficulties. Some are fighting illness, and some have lost loved ones. Some are swamped with the responsibilities of child-raising, and some are caring for sick or elderly family members.
"While grappling with untold challenges and leading very busy lives, our members are nevertheless making unsparing efforts, day in and day out, to actualise kosen-rufu and the ideal of 'establishing the correct teaching for the peace of the land.'"
Our Brilliant Human Revolution, A Life Dedicated to the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu, June 20th, 2019 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released July 2019
