---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law, declared: 'Wherever we practise the single vehicle of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, that place is [the pure land of] Eagle Peak, the capital of Eternally Tranquil Light" (GZ, new ed., 1127 [GZ, 811]).'*

"The pure land of Eagle Peak is not somewhere far away. The places we are now, the places of our mission, are the pure land of Eagle Peak and the capital of Eternally Tranquil Light. Our local communities are the driving force for worldwide kosen-rufu.

Having this unshakable conviction is the heart of faith."

From Our Brilliant Human Revolution, Advancing Together as World Citizens, Spreading Hope and Encouragement to Create a Future of Peace, June 27th, 2023, Seikyo Newspaper, translated October 2023
