--- DAILY GOSHO ---
The first shi of the word shishi, or "lion" [which means "teacher"], is the Wonderful Law that is passed on by the teacher. The second shi [which means "child"] is the Wonderful Law as it is received by the disciples. The "roar" is the sound of the teacher and the disciples chanting in unison.
(Ongi kuden - Gosho Zenshu, page 748, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 111)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The actions of genuine Buddhist practitioners are characterised by valuing and caring for each individual. Shakyamuni Buddha gave his all to encouraging every person he encountered. Nichiren Daishonin made unceasing efforts to encourage his followers throughout his life. The Soka Gakkai's first two presidents Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and Josei Toda also always poured their entire beings into encouraging each person they met. Buddhism would have no meaning if it lost this essential spirit of valuing and caring for each individual."
