Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Every individual deserves respect. Every individual must be valued and appreciated. This is the Gakkai spirit. The wisdom of Buddhism is the very foundation of genuine democracy."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Speaking of the chapter as a whole, the idea of gradually overcoming illusions is not the ultimate meaning of the 'Life Span' chapter. You should understand that the ultimate meaning of this chapter is that ordinary mortals, just as they are in their original state of being, are Buddhas."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 752, The Record of the Orally TransmittedTeachings, page 124)
