--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Therefore, I say to you, my disciples, try practising as the Lotus Sutra teaches, exerting yourselves without begrudging your lives! Test the truth of Buddhism now!"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Life, in one sense, is a constant battle against deadlock. As long as we are alive, as long as we continue challenging ourselves, we are bound to come up against difficult obstacles that block our way forwards. If life were all smooth sailing, if we never encountered setbacks, that itself would be a sign of stagnation."
SGI Newsletter No. 7883, LEARNING FROM THE WRITINGS OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN: THE TEACHINGS FOR VICTORY. [9] 'The Supremacy of the Law'--Part 3 [of 3]. Faith That Grows Stronger Is the Key to Eternal Victory, from the Sep. 2009 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated Nov. 6th, 2009.
