--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Morning after morning we rise up with the Buddha, evening after evening we lie down with the Buddha. Moment by moment we attain the way, moment by moment we reveal our true identity."

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"However harsh the sufferings of birth, ageing, sickness and death, which we encounter, if we seek strength and encouragement from the Daishonin's writings, the brilliant sun of our innate Buddhahood from time without beginning will rise 'within the mortal flesh of us ordinary people' (cf.WND–1, 832). We will open the way to revitalising our lives, imbuing them with the virtues of eternity, happiness, true self and purity, in exact accord with the Daishonin's hope-filled assurance that 'winter always turns to spring' (WND–1, 536)."

Foreword to the New Japanese edition of Nichiren Daishonin's gosho zenshu (The Complete Works of Nichiren Daishonin). From the November 20th, 2021 edition of Seikyo Newspaper, translation released April 2022.
