Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"French writer André Malraux (1901-76) said: 'Glory acquires its supreme brilliance through insult.' Champions of justice and humanity always face criticism and abuse. If they don't, they are not the genuine article; they are not true leaders. Authentic champions remain unperturbed by all slurs and defamations, fight on resolutely, and achieve victory. Mirroring Malraux's assertion, the magnificent glory of the Soka Gakkai lies in the fact that it continues to press forwards in the face of persecution and insult.
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
If Nichiren's compassion is truly great and encompassing, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo will spread for ten thousand years and more, for all eternity, for it has the beneficial power to open the blind eyes of every living being in the country of Japan, and it blocks off the road that leads to the hell of incessant suffering.
(On Repaying Debts of Gratitude , Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Page736)
