"Devadatta was the foremost good friend to the Thus Come One Shakyamuni. In this age as well, it is not one’s allies but one’s powerful enemies who assist one’s progress."

(The Actions of the Votary 

of the Lotus Sutra 

- WND-l, page 770)

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"The Daishonin teaches us that ‘Buddhism is reason' (WND-1, 839). When setting activity guidelines and the like, it's essential to explain the intent so that everyone will be happy to support them. That is, always speak reasonably. Reason has the power to convince people. That's why I hope you will deepen your understanding of the Daishonin's teachings.”
