Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The global financial crisis has plunged the world into a period of ever greater anxiety and uncertainty. People are realising that things cannot continue as they have been, and they're seeking a sound philosophy of peace and prosperity.
"My friends in the youth division, now is the time to speak out with even greater conviction, energy, and vigour for our hope-filled philosophy of the dignity of life and human revolution. Be bold! Dedicating your lives resolutely for the happiness of yourselves and others is the most fulfilling life there is-- as the Daishonin says. 'the treasures of the heart are the most valuable of all' (WND-1, 851). There must not be a single coward in the Soka Gakkai."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)
