Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Dr. Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace laureate with whom my wife and I enjoy a warm friendship, wrote: 'Every person who has ever achieved anything has been knocked down many times. But all of them picked themselves up and kept going, and that is what I have always tried to do.' Great individuals do not accept defeat. I hope you, my young friends, will be people who are never defeated. Please live with the resolve to brave difficult challenges, no matter how painful, and triumph in the end."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Myo means to revive, that is, to return to life."
(The Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 149)
