---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Now when Nichiren and his followers chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they should abide in the mind of faith that "from thought to thought, never entertains doubt" [cf.LSOC 25, 347].'

– From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, P.181.

"it's important to have absolute faith in the Mystic Law. Faith is the sharp sword that cuts through fundamental ignorance; it is the means through which we are able to obtain the wisdom of the Buddha's of the three existences (cf. OTT,54). As the Daishonin assures us: 'Although [we] may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood" (WND – 1, 283).

"My mentor, Josei Toda, declared that firm conviction, or unshakeable faith, is crucial in all things. When we have strong faith in the Gohonzon, our inner sun will shine brightly. In challenging times, let's chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with a vow for kosen-rufu, confident that our lives embody the Mystic Law, and open the way forwards to victory!"

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [67] Unshaleable Faith Is the Key to Happiness, from 25th December, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2022.
