---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"True victory as a human being is found in dedicating one's life to working for the welfare of others, no matter how hard the challenge. As Helen Keller said: ; We can convert [our trials] to new forces of good.'"
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"For this reason, when the bodhisattva Never Disparaging makes his bow of obeisance to the four kinds of believers, the Buddha nature inherent in the our kinds of believers of overbearing arrogance is bowing in obeisance to the bodhisattva Never Disparaging. It is like the situation when one faces a mirror and makes a bow of obeisance: the image in the mirror like wise makes a bow of obeisance to oneself."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 769, The Record of the Orally TransmittedTeachings, page 165)
