---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The most profound life is one that is dedicated to pursuing a shared ideal with one's mentor. The loftier the ideal, the more valuable and enduring a legacy such a life can create and leave behind.
"To realise happiness for oneself and others--this is the eternal ideal of all humankind. It represents the ultimate wisdom waiting to be found in the depths of each person's life. It is the genuine yearning that underlies all of life's workings. At the same time, there is no goal that is more difficult to achieve. This is because the dark clouds of ignorance and greed blanket our lives and obscure the sun of wisdom and idealism.
"The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin provides us with the philosophy and practise for realising genuine happiness for ourselves and others. Its driving spirit is to undertake this difficult challenge and never give up trying to achieve it. And the mentor-disciple relationship lies at the very heart of the human network and the united efforts that are so vital to succeeding in this endeavour."
