Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Although it may seem difficult to break away from conditions determined in history, people living today have absolutely no responsibility to burden themselves with the animosities of their forebears. When one person recognises the humanity of another, walls that may have been separating them crumble..."
"It is vital to look towards the future together with our fellow human beings instead of allowing ourselves to be held back by the past."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life is the foremost of all treasures. It is expounded that even the treasures of the entire major world system cannot equal the value of one's body and life. Even the treasures that fill the major world system are no substitute for life."
(The Gift of Rice - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,Vol.1, page 1125)
