Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
Mr Toda offered the following words of encouragement... 'Nothing is stronger than trust. To gain people's trust, you need to have strong life-force. Please break through every problem with strong faith and powerful life-force.' A person with strong life-force is happy and can overcome any hardship or difficulty. The key to winning the trust and confidence of your community is, fundamentally, having strong life-force."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"But although the three inherent causes, or potentials, of the Buddha nature are possessed by all beings, if such beings do not encounter the right conditions by meeting a 'good friend' or teacher, then they will not become awakened, they will not understand, their Buddha nature will not manifest itself."
(The Unanimous Declaration by the Buddhas of the Three Existences regarding the Classification of the Teachings and Which Are to be Abandoned and Which Upheld - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 861)
