in their own unique way!

Each and every one of you should be certain deep in your heart that sacrificing your life for the Lotus Sutra is like exchanging rocks for gold or dung for rice.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In a letter to the young Nanjo Tokimitsu, who was battling adversity because of his beliefs, Nichiren Daishonin praises: 'You Will receive great blessings in your present existence' (WND–1, 655).

"I am praying that each and everyone of you, who has chosen to appear at this time, will enjoy 'great blessings'—the visible reward that comes from unseen virtue—and lead a life of triumph, striving on the path of your chosen mission with unwavering faith as long as you live." 

Nationwide Young Men's Division Leaders' Meeting, Win through the Shared Spirit of mentor and Disciple, Seikyo Newspaper Oct. 3rd, 2022, translation released December 2022.
