Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"From the Buddha's perspective, everyone has a right to happiness. Everyone has the potential to lead a life brimming with joy. We who uphold Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, moreover, know how to tap the Mystic Law in our lives. That is why we not only have a right to happiness but also have an important mission to help others actualise true happiness in their lives as well.
"'Winter always turns to spring' means that ordinary people who triumph overall challenges they encounter in the course of their Buddhist practise will definitely become Buddhas. The Daishonin's words are a mighty lion's roar, proclaiming that his disciples -- whose lives are dedicated to enabling others to awaken to and manifest the Buddhahood that inherently exists within them -- cannot fail to attain enlightenment."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If one lights a fire for others, one will brighten one's own way."
(On the Three Virtues of Food - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 2,page 1060)
