Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda said: 'Obstacles exist to test and train us. It's like students of judo who become stronger by being thrown about again and again by their instructor. If we face every obstacle with the readiness to confront it and the determination to win, we'll be able to overcome the most challenging difficulties.' He also said: 'Lead dauntless lives for kosen-rufu, no matter what happens.' We must never forget this spirit."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Such an occurrence cannot be adequately explained interms of your present existence alone, but must have its origin in your relationship with the sutra in past existences-- only thus can it be understood."
(On the Importance of the "Expedient Means" and "LifeSpan" Chapters - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,Vol.2, page 748)
