-- DAILY GOSHO --

The heart of the Buddha's lifetime of teachings is the Lotus Sutra, and the heart of the practice of the Lotus Sutra is found in the "Never Disparaging" chapter. What does Bodhisattva Never Disparaging's profound respect for people signify? The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behaviour as a human being.

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"Through our faith in the Mystic Law, we can freely bring forth the boundless wisdom of the Buddha to overcome all manner of hardships. Those experiences will strengthen our conviction and certainty and reinforce and deepen our faith, which in turn will spark in our hearts an even greater passion to realise kosen-rufu."
