--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to
enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life,
and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what
happens."
(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681) Selection source: "Kyo no
Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 16th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) wrote this line that
was his creed later in life: 'Out of suffering, joy.' These are very
inspiring words. Everyone has problems. The important thing is not to allow
problems to defeat us, but to use them instead as a springboard to help us
forge a more expansive life-state.
"The Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin teaches the principles that the
sufferings of birth and death are none other than nirvana and that earthly
desires are none other than enlightenment. Precisely because we experience
sufferings, we can bring forth the life-state of Buddhahood."
