Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I'd like to share some of President Kennedy's impassioned words for peace: 'It's never too early to try [to seek peaceful solutions]; and it's never too late to talk.' He also said: 'If that journey [for peace] is a thousand miles, or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step.'
"The time to act is now. By steadily advancing one step at a time, we can lead victorious lives of brilliant achievement."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."
(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 283)
