Daily Guidance

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
What kind of results we will achieve in the future is determined by what causes we are making right now.* Let's take action now. Let's plant the seeds (for a successful future) now. This is the strategy for victory.
*"If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present."- "The Opening of the Eyes", WND-I, page 279
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"This is what the sutra means when it says, 'You should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha.' You should respect one another as Shakyamuni and Many Treasures did at the ceremony in the 'Treasure Tower' chapter."
(The Fourteen Slanders - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 757)
