Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The most trying times represent the most wonderful opportunities for challenging ourselves in our Buddhist practice and deepening our faith. All of our arduous efforts at that time will turn into incalculable benefit. Quite simply, 'a hundred years of practice in the Land of Perfect Bliss' means Buddhist practice in a comfortable environment free of hardships. Such circumstances would make it difficult for us to accomplish our human revolution. And without polishing and forging our lives, the goal of attaining the Buddha way would remain out of reach even if we practised for a hundred years."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that all my disciples make a great vow."
(The Dragon Gate - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1003)
