--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Never seek this Gohonzon outside yourself. The Gohonzon exists only within
the mortal flesh of us ordinary people who embrace the Lotus Sutra and chant
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.."
(The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
Vol.1, page 832) Selection source: SGI President Ikeda's speech, Seikyo

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A Buddhist doesn't simply pray to win without making any effort. If that
was Buddhism, it would only teach people to be lazy and corrupt.
"As a Soka Gakkai member you need to work harder than anyone else at your
job and, in order to become as efficient and productive as possible, study
and think hard. Faith and daimoku enable us to bring forth a strong
life-force and the necessary wisdom to succeed in that endeavour. Every job
demands not only hard work but also presents a variety of other challenges,
such as human relations problems and other difficulties. But your job is a
place where you can polish and perfect yourself as a person.
"It's very important to give it your full effort, become the top performer
in your workplace, and to win the trust of those around you. This will
improve your performance and reputation.... And if that were to occur, you
would regard your workplace as the most optimum.
"During gongyo each morning, you should pray with determination to do your
best at your job that day, become a victor in your workplace, and
demonstrate the power of your Buddhist faith. That's the key to fully
manifesting your greatest strength and wisdom.... That's the Soka Gakkai
spirit."
