"'Great compassion' is like the mercy and compassion that a mother feels for her child. At present it is the mercy and compassion of Nichiren and his followers. Chang-an [in his commentary on the Nirvana Sutra] says, 'One who rids the offender of evil is acting as his parent.'"

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"In a sense, an island is like a country. I want you all to have a heart big enough to support an entire country and to resolve to be the pillar, the eyes and the great ship of your islands.* I hope you will always pray for the prosperity of your islands and strive for the happiness of your fellow residents."

New Human Revolution, Victory Isles, 4th Chapter, Vol. 28, Victory Isles 59, SGI Newsletter 11560, translation released May 29th, 2024.

*In "The Opening of the Eyes," Nichiren Daishonin writes: "I will be the pillar of Japan. I will be the eyes of Japan. I will be the great ship of Japan. This is my vow, and I will never forsake it!" (WND-1, 280–81)
