Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"We need to maintain a youthful spirit ourselves and strive together with the youth: we need to nurture young people and confidently bequeath the future to them. Those who consistently work together with the youth to realise noble shared goals are victors who possess a lofty spirit. In contrast, those who use or exploit young people demonstrate the behaviour of arrogant, high-handed dictators or lazy, incompetent cowards."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

"This passage is saying that, if in a single moment of life we exhaust the pains and trials of millions of kalpas, then instant after instant there will arise in us the three Buddha bodies with which we are eternally endowed. Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is just such a 'diligent' practise."
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 790, The Record of the Orally TransmittedTeachings, page 214)
