-- TO MY FRIENDS --
"When great evil occurs, great good follows."*
It is precisely when our situation is at its worst,
that we actually have the best possible "chance"
to completely turn it around.
Fearlessly brave the challenges ahead of you, and win!

(* Gosho - Great Evil and Great Good, WND-1, Page 1119.)

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"At such a time, the three obstacles and four devils will invariably appear,
and the wise will rejoice while the foolish will retreat."

(The Three Obstacles and Four Devils - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol. 1, page 637) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun,
January 28, 2009.

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As the English poet Lord Byron (1788-1824) once pointed out: 'Adversity is
the first path to truth.' And the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck
(1862-1949) wrote: 'Misfortune opens eyes that were never open before.' As
a saying goes, 'The greater the resistance that waves meet, the stronger
they grow.' Struggling with difficulties and tribulations trains us and
makes us stronger. Hardship is indeed a very essential part of life."

Century 25, translated Jan. 27th, 2009
