Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In Mr. Toda's last editorial for the Soka Gakkai study magazine Daibyakurenge, published on April 1st, 1958-- the day before his death-- he wrote about the danger of confusing knowledge with wisdom: 'Basically, you have to understand that you can't attain true happiness unless you gain mastery over your own life; for this you need strong life-force and resilient wisdom."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"However great the good causes one may make, or even if one reads and copies the entirety of the Lotus Sutra a thousand or ten thousand times, or attains the way of perceiving three thousand realms in a single moment of life, if one fails to denounce the enemies of the Lotus Sutra, it will be impossible to attain the way."
(Encouragement to a Sick Person - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 78)
