Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
If we avoid looking at death, any happiness that we achieve will be a fleeting illusion. It is by gaining a proper understanding of death that we really know how to live and how to contribute meaningfully to society and civilization.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It must be ties of karma from the distant past that have destined you to become my disciple at a time like this. Shakyamuni and Many Treasures certainly realized this truth. The sutra's statement, 'Those persons who hadheard the Law dwelled here and there in various Buddhalands, constantly reborn in company with their teachers,' cannot be false in any way."
(The Heritage of the Ultimate Law of Life - The Writingsof Nichiren Daishonin, page 217)
