--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"'Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life. This is what I have taught my disciples morning and evening, and yet they begin to harbour doubts and abandon their faith. Foolish men are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes. (WND-1, 283)'
"Please take these words as a direct message to you from Nichiren Daishonin, the Buddha of the Latter Day of the Law. He affirms that, however great your difficulties, if you persevere in faith without doubt or complaint, you are certain to attain Buddhahood. Even if only a few members live on your island, even if there are no leaders to encourage you, please resolve to stand up and fulfil your eternal mission of kosen-rufu."
