--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"It is the heart that is important. No matter how earnestly Nichiren prays for you, if you lack faith, it will be like trying to set fire to wet tinder. Spur yourself to muster the power of faith. ."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra
"If one person becomes a sun of hope, he or she can definitely achieve family harmony. The humanity that shines from those who uphold the Mystic Law can brighten those around them and create a happy family.
"There is no need to rush. Like the sun that continues on its course, please cheerfully advance along the path of your mission each day, towards a springtime of victory!"

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'King Wonderful Adornment, the father of Pure Storehouse and Pure Eye, adhered to the non-Buddhist teachings and turned his back on the teachings of the Buddha. His two sons and heirs disobeyed their father's orders and became disciples of Cloud Thunder Sound King Buddha, but in the end they were able to guide their father so that he became a Buddha called Sal Tree King.'
- From "Conversation between a Sage and an Unenlightened Man" (WND-1, 124).

"The two brothers Pure Storehouse and Pure Eye—who appear in the Lotus Sutra—led their father, King Wonderful Adornment, to take faith in Buddhism by joyfully showing the benefits they had attained through their Buddhist practice. This is the power of human revolution.
"If one person becomes a sun of hope, he or she can definitely achieve family harmony. The humanity that shines from those who uphold the Mystic Law can brighten those around them and create a happy family.
"There is no need to rush. Like the sun that continues on its course, please cheerfully advance along the path of your mission each day, towards a springtime of victory!"
