--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The Buddha wrote that one should become the master of one's mind rather than let one's mind master oneself. This is what I mean when I emphatically urge you to give up even your body, and never begrudge even your life for the sake of the Lotus Sutra."
(Letter to Gijo-bo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. , page 390)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Nichiren Daishonin writes: "If the general were to lose heart, his soldiers would become cowards" (WND-1, 613). The determination and actions of leaders are a major factor in the success or failure of any struggle. When the fighting spirit of impassioned leaders who are determined to win spreads to the rest of the people, everyone becomes a courageous and valiant champion."
