---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Comenius, the noted Czech philosopher and educational reformer John Amos Comenius (1592–1670), declared: “Envy, wishing ill to others, pineth away herself.” Those who try to malign and discredit others out of envy only end up defeating themselves. This is one of life’s unvarying principles."--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished, it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality. Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of NichirenDaishonin, page 4)
