--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"You must simply make up your mind. Look at the world this year as a mirror. The reason that you have survived until now when so many have died was so that you would meet with this affair. ... This will determine whether you win honour or disgrace your name."

(Reply to Yasaburo - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 829)
