Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The spirit of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism is to take it upon ourselves to strive earnestly to solve the major issues facing society, based on the perspective of Buddhism. That is why the Daishonin remonstrated with the ruling authorities of the Kamakura government through his treatise 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land' and set out to guide the people towards happiness."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is like the situation when one faces a mirror and makes a bow of obeisance: the image in the mirror likewise makes a bow of obeisance to oneself."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 769, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 165)
