---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82) wrote: 'Without [action], thought can never ripen into truth.'"A determination is only meaningful if it is put into action and produces results. Determination without action is nothing but wishful thinking."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Since childhood, I, Nichiren, have never prayed for the secular things of this life but have single-mindedly sought to become a Buddha. Of late, however, I have been ceaselessly praying for your sake to the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha, and the god of the sun, for I am convinced that you are a person who can inherit the soul of the Lotus Sutra."(The Hero of the World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page839)
