--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"When a tree has been transplanted, though fierce winds may blow, it will not topple if it has a firm stake to hold it up. But even a tree that has grown up in place may fall over if its roots are weak. Even a feeble person will not stumble if those supporting him are strong, but a person of considerable strength, when alone, may fall down on an uneven path."
(Three Tripitaka Masters Pray for Rain - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 598) Selection source: Living Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, August 14th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"My mentor, second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda, often said that, as materialistic civilization reached a deadlock, religion would play a growing role as a fundamental basis for human happiness. Neither abstract theories, superstitions, nor mere moral cultivation would be effective; only a living religion or philosophy would do, he asserted. We need a teaching or philosophy that is an active and integral part of our lives. He proclaimed that the times call for the teaching of human revolution, or personal inner transformation, of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism."
SGI Newsletter No.8294, SGI President Ikeda's Study Lecture Series, LEARNING FROM THE WRITINGS OF NICHIREN DAISHONIN: THE TEACHINGS FOR VICTORY,[29] "Letter to the Lay Priest Nakaoki". Translated from the June 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge.
