Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We can't start a fire from flint if we stop halfway. If we do, all of our efforts up to that point would have been in vain. Similarly, we will be defeated if our faith is half-hearted. So warns the Daishonin.
"'Have profound faith. A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered'(WND-1, 1001)-- this famous passage is from a letter the Daishonin wrote to Shijo Kingo. Faith is the highest form of courage and the highest form of good.
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."
(On the Three Virtues of Food - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 1060)
