--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"As I was about to make my first visit to Kansai after becoming the third Soka Gakkai president, I wrote in my diary: 'Will treat each and every person in a friendly manner. Will talk with every person, hold dialogues and ask that we share one another's happiness and sufferings for the rest of our lives. This is my credo. I shall advance,  and suffer as an emissary of the Buddha, an uncrowned hero and an honourable ally of the ordinary people.'*

"Let us cheerfully continue our great journey of the shared struggle of mentor and disciple for worldwide kosen-rufu committed to changing the destiny of all humankind.

"It is time for our successor Bodhisattvas of the Earth to take the stage.

"Strengthen your life force through confident prayer! With vibrant courage build a brighter future! Keep encouraging and supporting one another throughout all! Advance to victory!"
