---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The practice of making a bow of obeisance carried out by the bodhisattva Never Disparaging is based on the teaching that people he bowed to were all certain to attain Buddhahood' [LSOC20, 309] and therefore is an expression of pity and compassion.'

"The practice of making a bow of obeisance carried out by the bodhisattva Never Disparaging is based on the teaching that people he bowed to were all certain to attain Buddhahood' [LSOC20, 309] and therefore is an expression of pity and compassion.'
- From The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, pp. 163-64.
"Talking to others about Nichiren Buddhism out of a wish for their happiness is equivalent to Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's practice of showing utmost respect to everyone he met. Having the courage to engage others in dialogue without hesitation, believing in their Buddha nature, is an expression of compassion and plants roots of goodness.
"Sharing the Mystic Law is the ultimate form of Buddhist practice. The efforts of our youthful Bodhisattvas of the Earth, charging ahead in the vanguard of our movement, inspire more and more people to join in the joyous dance of human revolution. Here we find the hope for peace.
"Let's all support the youth in their noble united endeavours to achieve brilliant victories."
