--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Life is the most precious of all treasures. Even one extra day of life is worth more than ten million ryō of gold. The Lotus Sutra surpasses all the other sacred teachings of the Buddha's lifetime because of the 'Life Span' chapter."

(On Prolonging One's Life Span 
- WND, Vol. I, page 955)
Selection source: "Kyo no Hosshin",

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"From the perspective of Buddhism, we have all appeared in the Latter Day of the Law, joined by profound karmic ties, to carry out the noble mission of kosen-rufu. This is the result of the vow we made in the distant past—a vow that we ourselves wished to make to the Buddha.

"As long as we live, let's stay true to this path we have chosen—the path of faith, the path of attaining Buddhahood in this lifetime, the path of kosen-rufu, the path of mentor and disciple, and the path of comrades in faith—and together lead victorious lives!"
