Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"This challenge is so difficult because remaining steadfast in faith means battling the ignorance or darkness in the depths of our lives-- in other words, making continuous efforts to transform our lives on a fundamental level. This is an extremely arduous path because those who pursue it are certain to be assailed by the three obstacles and four devils, along with the three powerful enemies. However, we can only truly attain Buddhahood by defeating these obstacles and steadfastly working on our inner transformation."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"In the light of the Buddha's prophecy, 'the last five-hundred-year period' has already begun. I say that without fail Buddhism will arise and flow forth from the east, from the land of Japan."
(On the Buddha's Prophecy - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 401)
