---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I recall an occasion, about a month after Mr. Toda had resigned as general director. I was accompanying him to Itoh (in Shizuoka Prefecture) on the Shonan train line. On the way, he gave me a private lecture on 'The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind,' and as we gazed out at the ocean from the window, he said: 'Unless you read the Daishonin's writings with a life state of faith as vast and expansive as the Pacific, you won't be able to truly grasp his spirit and intent. It would be making a grave error to try to understand his writings with intellect alone.'"
