Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The American engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915), who is sometimes called 'the father of scientific management,' once said: 'By integrity... I mean that straight forward honesty of purpose which makes a man truthful, not only to others but with himself, which makes a man high-minded, gives him high aspirations and high ideals.' He also remarked: 'What we are in the world for is to learn continually to do better.' Fulfilment and victory in life are achieved by having a great goal and realising personal growth and development as we advance towards that objective."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When one comes to realise and see that each thing -- the cherry, the plum, the peach, the damson -- in its own entity, without undergoing any change, possesses the eternally endowed three bodies, then this is what is meant by the word ryo, 'to include' or all-inclusive."

(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 784, The Record of the Orally TransmittedTeachings, page 200)
