Daily Guidance

----- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Encouraging others in faith requires an earnest, all-out effort. It entails a powerful interaction on the dimension of life itself, invoking the dynamics of the 'three thousand realms in a single life-moment' of each person. It is a dedicated challenge in which we polish our own lives so that we can consolidate our Buddhahood, while seeking to elevate the lives of our friends so they may do the same."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"One never in any way disobeys a parent; is always mindful of providing a parent with all manner of good things, and if this happens to be impossible, in the course of a day one at least smiles twice or thrice in their direction."
(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of NichirenDaishonin, Vol. 2, page 636)
