Daily Encouragement

I imagine that some of you have family members who are not yet practicing Nichiren Buddhism. There is no need to be impatient or to agonize over this. Whether people take faith has to do with their mystic connection with Buddhism, which takes a variety of forms. Important is the presence of one person who is practicing. One person’s attainment of Buddhahood brings happiness to family members and all those around him or her. When a single sun rises, everything is illuminated.

Daily Quote

Peace is not simply the absence of war; it is a state in which people come together in mutual trust and live with joy, energy, and hope. This is the polar opposite of war—where people live plagued by hatred and the fear of death.
