"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer
- WND, Vol. 1, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin quotes a phrase from the 'Life Span' (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra, which we recite daily: 'Where living beings enjoy themselves at ease'* (LSOC 16, 272). These words indicate that even though the world in which we live may be rife with suffering, for those who uphold faith in the Mystic Law, it can become a place where being alive itself is a joy.
