--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.."

(Happiness in This World - The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.I, page 681)
Selection source: "Teachings of Buddhism", Seikyo Shimbun, April 18th, 2015

Friday, May 8th, 2015
---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"A Buddha is not a superhuman being. One who has attained this state continues to experience problems, suffering, and pain, and is still subject to illness and to temptation by devilish forces. For that reason, a Buddha is a person of courage, tenacity, and continuous action who struggles ceaselessly against devilish functions.

"No matter how lofty a state we may achieve, without persistent efforts to advance and improve, our faith can be destroyed in a moment."

SGI Newsletter No. 9238, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 2: Human Revolution, 9.3 Buddhism Originates from Shakyamuni's Inner Struggle, from the April 2015 issue of the Daibyaku-renge, translation released 30th April, 2015

-- KYO NO GOSHO --
"ISSAI SHUJO NAM-MYOHO-RENGE-KYO TO TONAURU YORI HOKANO YURAKU NAKI NARI"
(Gosho Zenshu, page 1143)
