Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A “fighting” faith to take on and overcome the three obstacles and four devils opens the life-state of Buddhahood. There is no attaining enlightenment without struggling against the three powerful enemies. Those who work unceasingly for kosen-rufu are genuine Buddhas."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"On the twelfth day of the ninth month of last year, between the hours of the rat and the ox (11:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M.), this person named Nichiren was beheaded. It is his soul that has come to this island of Sado and, in the second month of the following year, snow bound, is writing this to send tohis close disciples."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 269)
