--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Mount Sumeru is paltry in comparison to the towering debt you owe your father; the great ocean is shallow compared to the profoundness of the debt you owe your mother. You must bear in mind these debts you owe to your father and mother."
(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 2, page 637)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 8th , 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"We are in a time of great transition and change. The existing norms and values of modern-day society are being called into question, and new perspectives and approaches are needed. But what should our foundation be? Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism clearly asserts that it is respect for human dignity and the sanctity of life.

"The fundamental mission of religion lies in inspiring and encouraging people to protect the welfare of humanity, to value and nurture life, and to lead a more meaningful existence."
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.
