--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one's mind rather than let one's mind master oneself. This is what I mean when I emphatically urge you to give up even your body, and never begrudge even your life for the sake of the Lotus Sutra."
(Letter to Gijo-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 390) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 26th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The more we talk about our Buddhist practice with heartfelt conviction and sincerity, the more we can plant the seed of Buddhahood in others' hearts. Even if they do not immediately begin practicing themselves, the time will definitely come when the seed that has been planted in their lives will germinate into an aspiration for faith and produce beautiful flowers of happiness.

"Even if we were to give someone endless riches and treasures, it would not guarantee their lasting happiness. The only way to do that is to share the Mystic Law with them."

SGI Newsletter No.8301: SGI President Ikeda's Editorial, The Winning Spirit of Sharing Buddhism with Others. Translated from the September 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge.
