"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'Usual prudence and courage, as well as your firm faith in the Lotus Sutra, enabled you to survive unharmed.'
- From "The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra" (WND-1, 1000).
"In this passage, Nichiren Daishonin teaches his disciple, Shijo Kingo, the key ingredients to leading a safe, secure life and attaining absolute victory: usual prudence, courage, and firm faith.
"Taking to heart the Daishonin's words, Shijo Kingo bravely weathered the serious crisis facing him. He positively transformed his situation, changing poison into medicine—a victory achieved through following the path of mentor and disciple.
"Please be careful and stay alert during the busy New Year holiday period. Remember to chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with strong faith to vanquish negative functions. May you spend each day wisely, stay safe, and enjoy good health!"
