Exerpt from " Discussions on Youth-For the Leaders of the Future "

This took place between President Ikeda and Soka Gakkai youth leaders in Japan in the mid 1990's.
Question .When we recite the sutra twice daily, a strong life force comes welling forth. But why is this so ?.
President Ikeda " Reciting the sutra is a ceremony in which our lives commune with the universe. As we recite the sutra and chant Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo, through our faith in the Gohonzon, we vigorously infuse the microcosm of our individual existence with the life force of the macrocosm, of the entire universe. If we do this regularly each morning and evening,our life force--or engine--is strengthened. "
