--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"The Lotus Sutra states that the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, which we are, each have 'a retinue equal to the sands of sixty thousand Ganges Rivers' (LSOC15, 252). Since we are Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we will bring forth many like-minded friends in this world.*


"The Lotus Sutra also says that 'the seeds of Buddhahood sprout through causation [or external causes and connections]' (see LSOC2, 75; WND-1, 1117). In the seven years leading to our centennial [in 2030], let us tap even greater wisdom to help people form a connection with Nichiren Buddhism. Let us awaken even greater numbers of people around the world to their Buddha nature. Let us also joyfully and courageously bring many new friends to join us in the castle of happiness, where we can together shine with wisdom and compassion."

*This is a play on the lines from "Song of Human Revolution": "Since we are Bodhisattvas of the Earth, / we have a mission to fulfil in this world."
