--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Since the Law is wonderful, the person is worthy of respect; since the person is worthy of respect, the land is sacred."
(The Person and the Law - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1097)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 14th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Making it possible for someone to receive the Gohonzon is an act of the greatest good. Let's do our utmost to actualise such good, which is an unfailing source of strength. Nichiren Daishonin explains that the Gohonzon is 'a cluster of blessings' (WND-1, 832). When we chant and spread Nam-myoho-renge-kyo based on faith in the Gohonzon, our life itself turns into a 'cluster of blessings.' The good fortune and benefit we derive through our Buddhist practice also extends to encompass our family, our community, and society at large."
