--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"Buddhism is about emerging triumphant. If we allow ourselves to be defeated by persecution and abandon our practice of never disparaging others, we are surrendering to the devilish function of arrogance. Because Bodhisattva Never Disparaging persisted in his efforts to the very end, 'all took faith in him and willingly became his followers' (LSOC20, 310). This was the triumph of his sincere, wholehearted practice of believing in the Buddha nature of all people, no matter how much he was scorned or persecuted.
"Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's actions of showing respect for all people enfolded everyone he met in the warm light of compassion and changed the minds of the arrogant people who had attacked him. This was due to the power of 'daimoku that is preached in a forceful manner, though it angers them.'"
