--- DAILY GOSHO ---"But my life from the beginning has been based upon firm conviction. I have no intention now of reversing my course, nor will I ever reproach [those who persecuted me]."
(Why No Protection from the Heavenly Gods? - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.2, page 432)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In a scene from one of Goethe's novels that highlights the hidden potential that people possess, one of the characters refers to a woman who, though at first glance had seemed to be 'the most useless creature in the world,' actually had a unique talent, which she was able to brilliantly reveal, develop, and put to use by working together with others. The character remarks: 'That shows what can become of people.'
"The potential for limitless self-improvement--this is none other than the path of human revolution, the focus of both Buddhism and Goethe.
"Carrying out ongoing human revolution is very important. Always keeping the inner sun shining in your hearts, please spread the light of joy with unflagging resilience, optimism, and good cheer."
