--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"On the other hand, not even the wisdom of the Buddha can
fathom the blessings that one will obtain by giving alms
to Nichiren and by becoming his disciple and lay supporter."

(The True Aspect of All Phenomena - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 384) Selection source: SGI
President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo Shimbun, September 9th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Any organisation or social system will begin to degenerate, grow corrupt,
and eventually self-destruct when its leaders lose sight of the original
purpose, become self-centred and lazy, and seek ease and personal gain.
Without a human revolution that triumphs over the negative forces that are
inherent within the human heart, a country or an organisation--no matter how
strong and flourishing it may be for a time--will reach an impasse. As
Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Only worms born of the lion's body feed on the
lion' (WND-1, 302). The causes for destruction reside within organisations
and other bodies, which are liable to be destroyed by the 'enemy within'
inherent in the human condition."
