Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
". The Daishonin emphasises that the essence of faith is in 'transcending all differences among themselves' (WND-1, 217). When each of us, in divers espheres of endeavour, loses the spirit to advance toward kosen-rufu with the shared commitment of our mentor and to advance harmoniously with our fellow members, we stray from the path of faith and our belief immediately falters. Then we are liable to succumb to the fundamental darkness inherent in our lives."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs. Slanderers are like barking foxes, but Nichiren's followers are like roaring lions."
(On Persecutions Befalling the Sage - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,Vol. 1, page 997)
