--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"Mr. Toda declared that we are all originally and inherently Bodhisattvas of the Earth, and when we understand this truth in the depth of our beings, we have truly understood the "Expedient Means" chapter.

This guidance touches on the essence of faith. Each day, as ordinary people struggling with all kinds of problems, we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and energetically engage in activities for kosen-rufu with our fellow members. These are all noble efforts to fulfill our vow as Bodhisattvas of the Earth to draw forth the Buddha nature in our own and others' lives.

The Buddhism of the Sun - Illuminating the World, Key Passages from the Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, [3] "Expedient Means" Chapter—Part 1 [of 2], The Expedient Means of the Lotus Sutra Express the Buddha's Own Mind, from the January 2023 issue of the Daibyakurenge, the Soka Gakkai monthly study journal. Translation released December 2023
