---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Respect for parents, grandparents, and ancestors is a natural and important human emotion. But ancestors are not themselves a proper object of worship. The only way to attain Buddhahood is to embrace faith in the Mystic Law, the fundamental law of the universe. When people chant for their deceased relatives, their daimoku opens the path to Buddhahood for the latter. That is the ultimate offering one can make to the deceased."--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, I want people with seeking minds to meet and read this letter together for encouragement."(Letter from Sado - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 306)
