-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"..it is said that where there is unseen virtue, there will be visible
reward."*
A heart that is brimming with gratitude and appreciation
(even in the midst of trying or challenging circumstances,)
acts like a magnet that attracts great good fortune and benefit!

*"Unseen Virtue and Visible Reward" - WND-1, page 907

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"My wish is that my disciples will be cubs of lion kings, never to be
laughed at by a pack of foxes".

(In the Continent of Jambudvipa - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.
2, page 1062) Selection source: "Kyo no hosshin", November 28th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The aim of Buddhism is to enable all human beings to awaken to, tap, and
actively manifest the incomparably noble Buddha nature within them. As the
Daishonin says: 'One becomes aware of the Buddha vehicle [the Law] within
oneself and enters the palace of oneself [the highest life-state of
Buddhahood]. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is what is meant by entering the
palace of oneself' (OTT, 209). This is the essence of a Buddhism that is
truly open to all people and illuminates the world with the light of hope.

"Our faith and practise--
as ordinary people
who refuse to accept defeat--
are smiled on by the Buddhas
and protected by the heavenly deities."
