Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A person who never forgets to smile, even amid life's storms, is a victor as a human being. If I may offer a personal example, my wife, no matter what trying obstacles we encountered, has always advanced together with me with a bright smile. I've once said that, as an expression of appreciation, I would like to present her with a special award for her warm, supportive smile."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 345)
