-- TO MY FRIENDS --
It is precisely when things are going smoothly
that we must not become careless.
Negative forces always try to take advantage when we are off our guard.
Let's never become arrogant (about our past achievements)
or complacent.
At all costs, our advancement must be free of accidents!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And yet, though one might point at the earth and miss it, though one might
bind up the sky, though the tides might cease to ebb and flow and the sun
rise in the west, it could never come about that the prayers of the
practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered."
(On Prayer - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 345)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"The Daishonin writes: "Teaching another something is the same as oiling the wheels of a cart so that they turn even though it is heavy, or as floating a boat on water so that it moves ahead easily" (WND-1, 1086). Encouragement and guidance serve to identify the thing holding us back, remove the obstacle, and rouse our courage.
"When youth make an effort to promote Buddhism, we should support them fully and assist in such a way that they can succeed. And even if they don't succeed at first, if we praise them for planting the seed for future success, it will give them great self-confidence. This confidence is the driving force for development."
"Youth develop quickly if they are fostered. They will grow as quickly as bamboo shoots."
