Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Those who have experienced the tragedy of war have a mission to speak out for peace. The Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) said: 'People are born into this world with a mission. Instead of putting it off, we should devote our every moment to achieving it. That's the only way to true happiness.'[1]
[1] Translated from Russian. L. N. Tolstoi, Polnoe sobranie sochinenii (Complete Works) (Moscow: Terra, 1992), vol. 45, p. 338."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear, and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."
(The Three Obstacles and Four Devils - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,Vol.1, page 637)
