--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"All the characters in which the Lotus Sutra is written represent living Buddhas. But because we have the eyes of common mortals, we see them as characters. It is like the example of the Ganges River. Hungry spirits see the waters of the river as fire, human beings see them as water, and heavenly beings see them as amrita."
(Letter to Horen - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 517) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 4th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"It can be said that the strength of an organization depends upon the cooperation and close coordination of central and vice leaders. If the central leaders do everything themselves, they'll become exhausted and end up burned out. But if they have several vice leaders who are working along with them in a coordinated way, activities can be held in greater depth.
"The unity of the organization starts with the unity of central and vice leaders. From there, the unity of "many in body but one in mind" spreads out, and a solid organization, like the stone walls of an unassailable, invincible castle, can be built."
(SGI Newsletter No. 7828, The New Human Revolution-- Vol. 22: Chap. 3, High Seas 56, translated July 30th, 2009)
