Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the French writer Romain Rolland (1866–1944) said: “Life is a continuous struggle for improvement and progress. Therefore, let us strive together, never resting on our laurels but ever raising the bar and setting higher goals for ourselves.” "Having a goal is a source of hope and inspiration."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The first shi of the word shishi, or 'lion' [which means 'teacher'], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means'child'] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The'roar' is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 748, The Record of the Orally TransmittedTeachings, page 111)
