---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"My mentor Josei Toda explained the importance of courage in a way that was easy for all to understand: 'We ordinary mortals may find it difficult to be compassionate. But we can substitute courage for compassion -- the courage to help others, to do our human revolution, to advance kosen-rufu in Japan and around the world. That courage itself is equivalent to compassion.' Courage is the key to achieving any goal. No one can take our courage away from us."

--- DAILY GOSHO ---

"As practise progresses and understanding grows, the three obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying with one another to interfere... One should be neither influenced nor frightened by them."
(Letter to the Brothers - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 501)
