--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If a person cannot manage to cross a moat ten feet wide, how can he cross one that is a hundred or two hundred feet?"

(The Actions of the Votary of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 766)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, October 6th, 2011

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Faith in Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism deepens, strengthens, and enriches our lives, serving as a source of courage and hope that enables us to positively challenge any adversity. The purpose of our Buddhist practice is to achieve a life without regrets—an invincible, fearless life, a life of integrity and principle, following our chosen path with assurance and confidence.

"In the realm of faith of the Mystic Law, the mentor's cherished wish is for each disciple to actualise their fullest potential based on their Buddhist practice and lead a life of complete fulfillment arising from their dedication to the great vow for kosen-rufu. Whether the disciples achieve this is decided by their own determined efforts to keep challenging hardships and working in earnest to spread the Mystic Law."
SGI Newsletter No. 8347, Learning from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin: The Teachings for Victory, [31] "The Good Medicine for All Ills." Turning All Adversity into an Impetus for Unceasing Progress, from the August 2011 issue of the Daibyakurenge, translated Oct. 5th, 2011
