Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Ideally, we should begin New Year's Day by offering warm wishes to our loved ones at home, promising to support each other and pray for the health and welfare of the household. That's a good way to start the year, don't you think? If, on the other hand, you begin New Year's morning by saying, 'Get up, you're oversleeping! Do you intend to skip gongyo this morning and just get by with chanting three daimoku?!' It's likely to lead to a quarrel. Of course, life's a drama, so maybe it's better to have some excitement at home every now and then! Anyway, let's all advance in high spirits in 2007."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is the heart that is important."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page1000)
