Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Reality is very complex. Though peace may be the goal, in most cases conflicting interests, antagonisms, and emotions conditioned by historical factors complicate the issue tremendously. But that is precisely why it is crucial not to be held back by the past or to remain wandering a maze of old hatreds and conflicts; instead, one must have a firm vision of a peaceful future and take fresh steps in that direction."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds."
(On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime - The Writings of NichirenDaishonin, Vol. 1, page 4)
