"Strengthen your resolve more than ever. Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water. Blue dye comes from indigo, but when something is repeatedly dyed in it, the colour is better than that of the indigo plant."

(The Supremacy of the Law 

- WND, Vol. 1, page 615)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
'Snow is the ultimate in whiteness; no dyeing will make it any other colour. Lacquer is the ultimate in blackness; it will never become white. But how different is the human heart in its fickleness! It can be dyed by either good or evil.

– From "Snow and Lacquer" (WND–2, 675).

"The human heart is fickle. When stained by evil influences, it can become corrupt and out of control. That is why it is important to recognise devilish functions for what they are by viewing them in the bright mirror of the Gosho—Nichiren Daishonin's writings—and thoroughly imbue our lives with the supreme good of the Mystic Law.

"The Soka Gakkai is unshakeable because the Gosho is the foundation of our activities. We can change all poison into medicine and powerfully open the way to a positive, value creating future. Let's continue advancing with the Gosho, solidifying our faith so that it is 'as unchanging as snow or lacquer' (WND–2, 675)."

Spreading the Brilliant Light of the Daishonin's Writings, [63] Imbuing Our Lives with the Supreme Good of the Mystic Law, from 24th November, 2021 issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released February 2022.
