Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The actual practice of daimoku of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth in theLatter Day of the Law means chanting daimoku for the enlightenment of all people— a practice that aims for the happiness of both oneself and others. As the Daishonin indicates in 'The True Aspect of All Phenomena' when he says, 'At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed' (WND, 385), the essence of daimoku is chanting it ourselves and also teaching it to others."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 283)
