--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"One never in any way disobeys a parent; is always mindful of providing a parent with all manner of good things, and if this happens to be impossible, in the course of a day one at least smiles twice or thrice in their direction."

(The Four Virtues and the Four Debts of Gratitude - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Volume 2, page 636)
Selection source: Teachings of Buddhism, Seikyo Shimbun, July 15th, 2012

Monday, July 30th, 2012
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
One's heart or mind is most important. Those who have an honest and pure heart can change everything into great benefit...
Everything is determined by one's heart. That is why, in the realm of Buddhism, even the most trivial things bear significance.
