Daily Guidance

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Favourable circumstances don't necessarily mean that one will achieve something great; by the same token, flashy, noticeable activities may not always be of significant value. In most cases, truly meaningful work or an undertaking that goes down in history is the result of the steady accumulation of persistent, inconspicuous efforts."
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground."
(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)
