Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Shakyamuni Buddha said that the wise recognise as a sage one who leads and paves the way forwards. Be a pioneer. Take the initiative. That, the Buddha says, is the mark of a true sage."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sunrise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 345)
