Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"There is a treasured maxim in Malaysia that expresses an inspiring wisdom:“Hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih. (When one truly seeks to achieve something, thousandfold power will arise; when one fails to do so, a thousand excuses will be found.)”
"In life, those who continue to seek and learn throughout their lives will always emerge victorious. It is a sad thing to give in to defeat."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvanasutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 937)
