---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Recognising debts of gratitude is an expression of the Buddhist spirit that
aims to cultivate the richest possible humanity, while repaying debts of
gratitude is a hallmark of a life of wisdom that has conquered inner
darkness or ignorance. Hence, the lives of genuine Buddhist practitioners
always shine with the inner light of appreciation and gratitude.
"Throughout his life, Nichiren Daishonin demonstrated an extraordinary
commitment to repaying his debts of gratitude, as a human being and as a
Buddhist. He writes:
"'Ever since I began to study the Law handed down from Shakyamuni Buddha and
undertook the practise of the Buddhist teachings, I have believed it is most
important to understand one's obligations to others, and made it my first
duty to repay such debts of kindness.' (WND-1, 122)"
