Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The power to achieve kosen-rufu is found in the solidarity of true champions. Victory cannot be attained by a crowd of bystanders or a disordered collection of people who lack self-reliance; it can only be achieved through the unity of champions who each resolve to take full responsibility on their own. Courage and strength well up in those who consciously take on everything as the protagonist and person responsible for achieving their goals. Unlimited wisdom and ardent resolve also surge forth.And by striving with unstoppable vigour and boldness, they will experience vitality, fulfilment, and joy.
"As the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) once wrote: 'Those who live for a lofty purpose experience constantly increasing goodness.'"

"Though evils may be numerous, they cannot prevail over a single great truth."
