--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it,
though one might bind up the sky, though the tides might
cease to ebb and flow and the sun rise in the west, it
could never come about that the prayers of the
practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1,
page 345) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"No matter what seeming greatness people may achieve, if they don't value
and respect their parents who have done so much for them, it will be nothing
more than an illusion. They will not be people of genuine first-rate
character or integrity. That is my conclusion from having observed many
different people over the long course of my life.
"It is truly deplorable when people insult, ridicule, or look down on the
very parents who have supported them with such indescribable love and care.
Such ungrateful behaviour is inhuman; even animals treat their parents
better. Individuals who genuinely respect their parents develop into people
of fine character. Even if right now you can't do everything you'd like to
do to show your gratitude to your parents or to repay them for all they've
done for you, as long as you have the determination to do so in the future
and always have a sense of appreciation for them, you're bound to be a
winner in life. No truly first-rate people anywhere in the world fail to
treasure their parents....
"And those of you whose parents are no longer with you can still cherish
them in your hearts. That spirit will become a limitless source of strength
for developing yourself and becoming a stronger and bigger person."
