--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If you care anything about your personal security, you should first of all
pray for order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land,
should you not?"
(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land - The
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 24) Selection source: "Kyo no
hosshin", December 17th, 2008

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Mr. Toda said: 'If you have faith in the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin,
you need to exert yourself just as the Daishonin instructs. That's what
would please the Daishonin.' 'Just as the Daishonin instructs'--this is the
crucial point. If you strive for kosen-rufu, the three obstacles and the
four devils will arise, and opposition will be inevitable.
"Mr. Toda also said: 'Nichiren Daishonin boldly propagated the Lotus Sutra
unafraid of persecution by the Kamakura military government. We also need to
rouse our courage, unite, and forge ahead on the great path of kosen-rufu!'
Courage and unity are vital.
"He further stated: 'We possess the Gohonzon. The Lotus Sutra says that
wherever people have strong faith, their land [remains safe and tranquil]
(LS16, 230). What have we to fear? We mustn't be overly swayed or troubled
by the passing tide of events. If we're fainthearted, we won't be able to
accomplish the great undertaking of kosen-rufu.'"
