--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Suffer what there is to suffer, enjoy what there is to enjoy. Regard both suffering and joy as facts of life, and continue chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, no matter what happens ."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 681)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, November 4th, 2010

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Because we are attending the foremost gathering of good friends, it's only natural that we feel energy welling forth from within. We are all good friends, each striving to do our human revolution.

"In 'On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land,' the Daishonin writes: 'You have associated with a friend in the orchid room and have become as straight as mugwort growing among hemp' (WND-1, 23). Our fellow members are 'friends in the orchid room' -- people of virtue who are positive influences. Our harmonious community of practitioners itself abounds with the power to awaken and enhance people's innate goodness."
SGI Newsletter No. 8097, YOUTH AND THE WRITINGS OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN, Advancing with the Spirit of 'Many in Body, One in Mind'--Part 2 [of 2], from the June 19th, 2010, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, translated Oct. 28th, 2010
