--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Aside from these people, there are also those who appeared to believe in me, but began doubting when they saw me persecuted. They not only have forsaken the Lotus Sutra, but also actually think themselves wise enough to instruct me. The pitiful thing is that these perverse people must suffer in the AvΔ«chi hell even longer than the Nembutsu believers."

(Letter from Sado 
- WND, Vol. 1, page )

Soka Gakkai 
President Harada's encouragement,

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin also writes: 'It is the power of the Buddhist Law that enables the deities of the sun and moon to make their rounds of the four continents'* (WND–1, 685). Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is the fundamental law permeating life and the universe. That's why when we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our lives merge with this universal law and we are able to create value that leads to happiness. We can bring forth hope and make wonderful contributions towards building a secure, peaceful world. Such is the power of our prayers as Soka Gakkai members." 

* Four continents: the continents situated respectively to the east, west, north and south of Mount Sumeru, the mountain that stands at the centre of the world, according to ancient Indian cosmology. They are Purvaavideha in the east, Aparagodaniya in the west, Uttarakuru in the north and Jambudvipa in the south.

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [70] Everything Begins with Prayer Infused with the Shared Vow of Mentor and Disciple, Prayers to Transform the Destiny of Humankind, from the February 2021 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translation released December 2021.
