Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
When new capable people come to the fore, a new age opens. Future victory depends on successfully fostering young leaders.
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), founder of the modern nursing profession, is well known for her emphasis on the importance of training and lifelong learning. In particular, she warned her students not to let their "time of training slip away." Those who receive training in their youth move forward along the path to victory in life.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil."
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 15)
