--- 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, April 20th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"As I have said before, be millions of times more careful than ever."
From 'The Hero of the World' (WND-1, 839).

"Carelessness is our greatest enemy. We must safeguard against all accidents, particularly when our activities are moving forwards at a high pace. It is important to chant that incidents don't occur and to be alert to the smallest detail. While deeply engraving in our hearts the Daishonin's words, 'be millions of times more careful,' let's show actual proof that Buddhism means winning."
SGI Newsletter No. 8210, LIVING THE GOSHO: WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM SGI PRESIDENT IKEDA, (14) Always Staying Alert, from the April 14th, 2011, issue of the Seikyo Shimbun translated April 14th, 2011
