Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In the Lotus Sutra, the bodhisattvas who are disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha pledge before him in a mighty lion’s roar to courageously 'travel here and there, back and forth through the worlds in the ten directions' (LS13, 193) in order to spread the Law in the evil age after his passing. Those who walk the correct path of mentor and disciple throughout their lives will know no impasse or stagnation. This is the essence of genuine victors in life -- people of profound spiritual depth, strength, and nobility."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It has been twenty or more years now since I found myself in that situation and began the great battle. Not once have I thought of retreat."
(The Great Battle - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 465)
