---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"For practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism, personal hardships and difficulties are opportunities for changing our destiny or karma. Our mission is to demonstrate that to others through our example, proving the greatness of the Mystic Law. Guided by this vision, we live with the positive spirit of changing karma into mission. In terms of Buddhist doctrine, this is called 'voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma.'* It is the vow of bodhisattvas."

The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [75] To Our Future Division Members, the Torchbearers of Justice—Our Hope for the Future, Changing Karma into Mission, July 2021 issue of Daibyakurenge, translation released May 2022.
* Voluntarily assuming the appropriate karma: This refers to bodhisattvas who, though qualified to receive the pure rewards of Buddhist practice, relinquish them and make a vow to be reborn in an impure world in order to save living beings. Applied to our lives, it means to view overcoming problems through Buddhist practice as a means to show the power of the Mystic Law.
