---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Day after day, today and again tomorrow, personally taking action, meeting with others and engaging in dialogue—this is what Shakyamuni did. This is the path of right action as a human being and the path of true honour for a Buddhist. This also characterises the rhythm of the Soka Gakkai's progress. We are advancing in the exact same way as Shakyamuni and as Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law.
