Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
In one of his popular works, Einstein wrote: "What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life."[1]
A society lacking in humanistic religious and spiritual values is an unfortunate society that lacks reverence for life.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 279)
