Let's respect and treasure 
our young people 
and try to learn from them!
That's how fresh vitality

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"While facing great persecution, the Daishonin continued to pray for the happiness of all people. As he states, 'The Buddha mind is a mind of great pity and compassion' (0TT, 164).

"The heart of the daimoku of the Latter Day of the Law is 'great pity and compassion' that seeks to relieve the suffering of humankind.

"When we encounter problems and hardships, it's all too easy to become wrapped up in praying only for ourselves. But our state of life reflects what we pray for."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [58] Creating a Century of Humanism in Which All Can Shine—Part 2 [0f 5], What We Pray for Is Reflected in Our Life State,  February 2020 issue of Daibyaku Renge, translation released December 2020
