Thursday, Aug 7th, 2014 --- DAILY GOSHO --- "I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood, or to obtain water from parched ground." (On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 444) Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin", Seikyo Shimbun, August 7th, 2014 Friday, Aug. 8th, 2014 ---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---- "We of the SGI have forged ties of friendship around the world, transcending all barriers. "I hope you will challenge yourself in dialogue for the sake of kosen-rufu more than ever before, meeting and conversing with others and forming heart-to-heart bonds. Please continue to hold dialogue in a friendly, natural way. "Take the lead yourself in talking with one person after another. Without initiative, there can be no victory. A challenging spirit is essential in practising the Daishonin's Buddhism. "Don't be fainthearted! Advance with courage! Let's really challenge ourselvesand establish a record of successive victories together!"
