"The people of today in any event already turn their backs on the Lotus Sutra, and because of that error they will undoubtedly fall into hell. Therefore, one should by all means persist in preaching the Lotus Sutra and causing them to hear it. Those who put their faith in it will surely attain Buddhahood, while those who slander it will establish a 'poison-drum relationship' with it and will likewise attain Buddhahood. In any event, the seeds of Buddhahood exist nowhere apart from the Lotus Sutra."

"Buddhism is about winning. In 10, 20, 30 or 50 years, everything will become clearer and clearer. Winning is a lifelong struggle. More fundamentally, there are cases where victory must be measured from the perspective of the three existences of past, present and future. Nevertheless, be confident that your ultimate great victory is guaranteed and live out your lives as undaunted champions!

"To do this, you need a strong spirit. You cannot persevere in Buddhist practice if you are cowardly. You need the strength to endure great trials and to overcome your arrogance or attachment to recognition or personal profit."

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"As the organisation grows and everyone receives benefits, those benefits will all be transmitted as good fortune to our members who blazed the trail in the pioneering days. As the Daishonin says: 'Their blessings will accrue to you' (WND-1, 672). The heavenly deities will forever shower praise on those who gave their all to cultivate the earth of kosen-rufu and sow the seeds of the Mystic Law."
