---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"The great Dutch humanist Spinoza (1632–77) declared: “Ingratitude is a disdain for gratitude.” The ungrateful look down on having appreciation. They labour under the delusion that showing gratitude to others somehow diminishes their own value. This is a completely twisted viewpoint. Appreciation actually elevates, enriches, and enlarges the human spirit."

"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sunrise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345)
