Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In all times and places, ingratitude has been abhorred. This is a fact of history. The ancient Roman philosopher Seneca denounced ingratitude as the worst of all crimes. Things start falling apart when we forget our debts of gratitude. Ingratitude was at the heart of the actions of all those who abandoned their faith and betrayed the Soka Gakkai."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs."
(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,Vol. 1, page 997)
