--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"If we inquire into the origin of Mount Sumeru, we find that it began with a single speck of dust; and likewise, the great ocean began with a single drop of dew. One added to one becomes two, two becomes three, and so on to make ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or an asamkhya. Yet "one" is the mother of all."
(The Blessings of the Lotus Sutra

—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ——
"In his writings, the Daishonin encourages his youthful disciple Nanjo Tokimitsu, saying: 'commit yourself to the Lotus Sutra and have faith in its teachings. You must not only believe in them yourself but also encourage others to do the same, so that you may save those who were your parents in all your past existences' (WND–1, 964–65).

"If we are to live, we may as well uphold the supreme principle of the dignity of life and dedicate ourselves to realising kosen-rufu and building a peaceful world. If we are to speak, we may as well impart words of goodness and truth that bring people together."
