"In the light of the above points, this shows, my followers, that you had better cut short your sleep by night and curtail your leisure by day, and ponder this! You must not spend your lives in vain and regret it for ten thousand years to come."
(The Problem to Be Pondered Night and Day - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 622) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 12th, 2009

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Buddhism teaches that the sufferings of birth and death are nirvana. Life is always filled with troubles. The Buddha was constantly troubled about how to help all living beings. If we had no more troubles, life would be completely dull and uninteresting. Food tastes good because we're hungry. Getting a raise makes us happy if our salary before was low and we were having a hard time making ends meet. Real joy is to be found in struggle.
"Attaining Buddhahood doesn't mean that we're free from all problems, have heaps of money, and live in a big fancy house. It's a life-state filled with great joy, vibrant energy, and brimming with a vigorous, positive spirit, ready to rise to every challenge. If we dedicate our lives to kosen-rufu, we are certain to attain Buddhahood in this existence."
