— TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's treasure and respect the opinions of women
who are firmly grounded in the realities of daily life!
Their rich and bountiful wisdom contains the key
to the progress and advancement of the family,
the neighbourhood and society at large.

--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"(Many hear about and accept this sutra, but when great obstacles
arise, just as they were told would happen, few remember it and bear
it firmly in mind.) To accept is easy; to continue is difficult. But
Buddhahood lies in continuing faith."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 444)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, March 25th, 2014

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Ignorance of how one comes to be in this world, of that profound causality in one's life, is not just ignorance of gratitude for one's parents, but is connected with all forms of gratitude, including gratitude for all living beings and gratitude for one's teacher. Such absence of a sense of gratitude represents the decline and fall of one's humanity."
