Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Making one’s way through life actively avoiding hard work and tough challenges will produce nothing of true lasting value. Young people, inparticular, need to throw themselves into their chosen task, roll up their sleeves, grit their teeth, and bravely weather all hardships and difficulties as they steadily work toward fulfilling their mission. That indomitable, invincible spirit is the highest honour a youth can earn."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thorough bredhorse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 17)
