Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Particularly in the cold winter months, elderly members and those struggling with their health should not unduly push themselves to attend Gakkai activities. It is important to live wisely and not put yourself at unnecessary risk. Our own homes, where the Gohonzon is enshrined, can beconsidered as Eagle Peak -- a tranquil and shining Buddha realm. Even if you are unable to go out, you can still communicate with others by phone and other methods. It's quite possible to propagate the Law to the best of your ability while remaining at home. I'd like to reconfirm this point with all of you today."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is definitely something extraordinary in the ebb and flow of the tide, the rising and setting of the moon, and the way in which summer, autumn, winter, and spring give way to each other. Something uncommon also occurs when an ordinary person attains Buddhahood. At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
(The Three Obstacles and Four Devils - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,page 637)
