Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Attaining Buddhahood in one's present form is not about acquiring some kind of special, super human qualities, but rather it means achieving as ordinary human beings an eternal and boundless state of life characterised by the virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.
"The benefits and blessings of the Mystic Law are immeasurable. All life --no matter in which of the Ten Worlds it may reside -- is originally an entity of the Mystic Law. Therefore, even if at present we are in a state of Hell, by changing our mind-set or focus at that moment, we can immediately manifest our pure and highest state of life as entities of the Mystic Law. This is what it means to attain Buddhahood in one's present form."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is the heart that is important."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1000)
