--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?"
(Letter to Niike - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1027)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Be diligent in developing your faith until the last moment of your life. Otherwise you will have regrets. For example, the journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days. If you travel for eleven but stop with only one day remaining, how can you admire the moon over the capital?'
- From 'Letter to Niike'� (WND-1, 1027).
"This is a Gosho passage that I engraved in my life together with my beloved Kansai members during the Osaka Campaign of 1956.
"In any struggle, those who keep striving to the very end, firmly resolved to win, will be victorious. By fighting our hardest at a crucial moment, we can put our lives on an imperishable trajectory forever imbued with the four noble virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity.
"Chanting powerful daimoku that resounds like a lion's roar, let's exert ourselves bravely and vigourously each day."
