--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"I am praying that, no matter how troubled the times may become, the Lotus Sutra and the ten demon daughters will protect all of you, praying as earnestly as though to produce fire from damp wood or to obtain water from parched ground."

(On Rebuking Slander of the Law and Eradicating Sins 
- WND, Vol. 1, page 444)
Selection Source: Kyo no Hosshin, 
Seikyo Newspaper, Jan. 5th, 2023

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"In The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, Nichiren Daishonin says: '[The Lotus Sutra] describes how one dances with joy when one comes to the realisation that the elements of the body and the mind are the Wonderful Law [Mystic Law]' (OTT, 45). 

"Each of you chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the ultimate law of the universe, and are dedicated to fulfilling your vow from time without beginning. As such, you embody the Mystic Law both spiritually and physically."

Nationwide Young Men's Division Leaders' Meeting, Win through the Shared Spirit of Mentor and Disciple, October 3rd, 2022 Seikyo Newspaper, translation released December 2022.
