Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Victory cannot be achieved by postponing what we have to say until the next available
opportunity,
we have to seize the moment right here, right now!
Let's treat each interaction as a once-in-a lifetime opportunity,
and do our utmost to engage in the sort of conversation
that will create a deeper understanding of our movement for justice and the truth.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour
doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have
doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged
because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life."

(The Opening of the Eyes - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 283)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, June 24th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"I'd like to share some of President Kennedy's impassioned words for peace: 'It's
never too early to try [to seek peaceful solutions]; and it's never too late to
talk.' He also said: 'If that journey [for peace] is a thousand miles, or even more,
let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step.'

"The time to act is now. By steadily advancing one step at a time, we can lead
victorious lives of brilliant achievement."
