--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"And could not this illness of your husband's be the Buddha's design, because the Vimalakirti and Nirvana sutras both teach that sick people will surely attain Buddhahood? Illness gives rise to the resolve to attain the way."
(The Good Medicine for All Ills - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 937)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Our manner when speaking must never be haughty or impolite, or overly familiar; always be considerate and respectful. The way we speak to others reveals our character. We should speak politely, of course, to those who are older than we are, but also to our juniors.
"When we meet members, always be the first to greet them. We mustn't just causally stand there with our hands in our pockets and mumble a hello. Those who were once top youth division leaders need to especially take heed of this point. To greet people in a polite, courteous, and sincere manner is fundamental.
"Remember to smile when you interact with others. We'll only make an unpleasant impression if we are always frowning, or have a sullen, morose, or irritated expression, and people won't feel comfortable confiding their problems to us. And if people can't talk to us, we won't be able to cultivate unity."
