--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"The accepting and upholding of this original Law is expressed in the single word "belief" or "faith". The singe word "belief" is the same sharp sword with which one confronts and overcomes fundamental darkness or ignorance. The commentary [Words and Phrases] says, "Belief means to be without doubt." You should think about this."

(The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 120)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'The seeds of one kind of plant are all the same; they are different from the seeds of other plants. If all of you [in your family] nurture the same seeds of Myoho-renge-kyo in your hearts, then you all will be reborn together in the same land of Myoho-renge-kyo. When . . . you are reunited there face-to-face, how great your joy will be!'
- From "Reply to the Mother of Ueno" (WND-1, 1074).

"Family members united by the Mystic Law will definitely be reborn together again in a land where the Mystic Law is propagated. We can live out our lives forever with our families, our hearts never separated for even a moment.

"The greatest thing that we can do for loved ones who have passed away is to confidently continue our work for kosen-rufu. While wholeheartedly chanting for the deceased, please develop a lofty life-state together as a family, pervaded by the four noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity."
