 --- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Though I may be a person of little ability, I have reverently given myself to the study of the Mahayana.. A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet."

(On Establishing the Correct Teaching for the Peace of the Land 
WND - , Vol. 1, page 17)

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Older people have a rich life experience. They have formed a set of principles and approaches from that experience, and they tend to judge everything based on that.

"And being backed by the wisdom of experience, their evaluations are usually correct. But older people also tend to react negatively to things they are unfamiliar with. And when times change dramatically, their experience-based approaches become useless. If they fail to see that, they can make errors in judgement.

"Men's division leaders need to be aware of that and make a positive effort to listen to the ideas of young people."

New Human Revolution, Chapter 30, Awaiting the Time 29, Translation released March 2019
