The Daishonin teaches,

with even just one phrase of the

Wonderful Law, that relationship
will continue unbroken
over a million kalpas."*

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we strive to practise correctly in accord with the Daishonin's teachings, devilish functions will assail us. It's only natural that we encounter ill will and opposition. That's why the Daishonin strictly emphasises: 'Nichiren's disciples cannot accomplish anything if they are cowardly' (WND–1, 481).
