--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"We can without fail change the world we live in (the saha world),* which is filled with suffering, into an ideal Land of Tranquil Light. 
That is the message of transformation and philosophy of hope found in the Lotus Sutra.


"In 'On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime,' the Daishonin writes: 'There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds' (WND-1, 4). Whether a land is pure or impure is not something fixed or unchangeable."


The Buddhism of the Sun—Illuminating the World, [86] Expanding Our Inspiring Network of Human Harmony in the "Treasure Realms" of Our Mission, When We Change Our Mindset, Our Environment Changes, June 2022 issue of Daibyakurenge, translation released March 2023

*Saha world: This world, which is full of suffering. Often translated as the world of endurance. In Sanskrit, saha means the earth; it derives from a root meaning "to bear" or "to endure." For this reason, in the Chinese versions of Buddhist scriptures, saha is rendered as endurance. In this context, the saha world indicates a world in which people must endure suffering.
