Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The ancient Chinese philosopher Hsün-tzu (or Xunzi), who lived during the intellectual and political tumult of the Warring States period, emphasized the importance of effort, asserting that through persistent effort, we can elevate ourselves to an unlimited degree."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Though I may be a person of little ability, I have reverently given myself to the study of the Mahayana. A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thorough bred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - TheWritings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 17)
