-- DAILY GOSHO --
Although I and my disciples may encounter various difficulties, if we do not harbour doubts in our hearts, we will as a matter of course attain Buddhahood. Do not have doubts simply because heaven does not lend you protection. Do not be discouraged because you do not enjoy an easy and secure existence in this life.

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"Who is great in the realm of Nichiren Buddhism? Those who, while battling harassment and oppression, patiently pave the way for kosen-rufu in accord with the Daishonin's writings and give their all to spread the teachings, foster capable people and gain trust from their community. They work tirelessly for people's happiness, sharing their hardships, shedding tears with them, chanting with them and taking action by their side. Being a priest doesn't make a person great. Neither does being a Soka Gakkai leader."
