--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Having been exiled on the Lotus Sutra's account, I now read and practice it continuously, whether I am walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. For anyone born human, what greater joy could there be?"

(The Four Debts of Gratitude 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 43)
Selection Source: 
Soka Gakkai President Harada's encouragement, 
Seikyo Shinbun, July 7th, 2018

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'When with our mouths we chant the Mystic Law Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, our Buddha nature, being summoned, will invariably emerge. The Buddha nature of Brahma and Shakra (the two main guardian deities or Buddhism,) being called, will protect us, and the Buddha nature of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, being summoned, will rejoice.'
- From 'How those initially aspiring to the way can attain Buddhahood through the Lotus Sutra' (WND –1, 887).

"The sound of our voices chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo awakens the Buddha nature of the entire universe. Those who wholeheartedly chant daimoku will definitely be safeguarded by the protective functions of the universe.

"Our practice of gongyo is a sublime ceremony that puts the microcosm of our life into harmony with the fundamental rhythm of the macrocosm of the universe. It is the power source for developing a life state of absolute happiness that enables us to remain undefeated by anything.

"Let's set forth again today with a refreshing gongyo and vibrant daimoku!"

Advancing with the Gosho (2), (19) Let's Start Our day with Vibrant Daimoku! Translated from 8th May, 2018, issue of the Seikyo Newspaper, translation released June, 2018
