— TO MY FRIENDS --
The path to victory is through our study of the Gosho!
Let's try to read the Gosho regularly
even if it is only one sentence or passage!
Diligently doing so will most certainly help us
to break through whatever is in our way!

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"One who destroys or brings confusion to the Buddha's teachings is
betraying them. If one befriends another person but lacks the mercy to
correct him, one is in fact his enemy. One who rids the offender of
evil is acting as his parent."

(Errors of the True Word and Other Schools - The Writings of Nichiren
Daishonin, Vol. 2, page 435) Selection source: New Human Revolution -
Justice 16, Seikyo Shimbun, Jan 21, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"There was a word that second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda often stressed with the fervent wish to impart its importance to his successors. That word was courage. He once gave this clear-cut guidance:

The essence of Buddhism is compassion. We, too, need to have compassion but, being ordinary mortals, the reality is that it is quite difficult for us to do so. Courage substitutes for compassion. I am speaking of the courage to save others from suffering, to improve ourselves, to do our human revolution, to widely spread Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism throughout Japan and the entire world. To practice Buddhism with courage translates into compassion.

I hope you will advance with courage this year for the sake of your own development and for the realisation of historic achievement…."
