Daily Encouragement
What is the secret to victory? Mr. Toda once described that in a certain sense life is a gamble. “If you are lucky, you will win,” he said. “But if you are unlucky, then sometimes no matter how hard you try you lose. This is a hard fact.” That is why, in addition to ability, good fortune is essential. The key to creating good fortune is found in faith and daimoku. I hope that you will all act in accord with the fundamental Law of Buddhism and lead victorious lives filled with unsurpassed good fortune.

The exclusive pursuit of one’s own interests cannot bring true happiness. It is in striving for the sake of others that the great path to genuine happiness is opened.
