"In this statement that the phantom city is identical with the treasure land, the single word 'identical' is symbolic of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Each moment of life in the phantom city is a moment of life in the treasure land."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I remember being scolded by Mr. Toda one day as I was making frantic efforts to help him resolve his business difficulties amid the postwar recession. Perhaps noticing how pale and exhausted I was, he said: 'Daisaku! You haven't got an ounce of life force! If your life force is weak, you'll be defeated.'

"He led me over to the Gohonzon, sat down with me and chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a force that literally seemed to batter the devil of illness into submission. His chanting truly was a lions roar.
"Inspired by my mentor's tough love, I roused fresh courage and summoned forth the boundless life force of a charging lion. In this way, my mentor made it possible for me to defeat the devil of illness and forge a life of health and longevity so that I could fulfil my mission for kosen-rufu. For this, I am eternally grateful to him."
