-- DAILY GOSHO --
"We live today in a time of trouble, when there is little that ordinary people can do. And yet, busy as you are, in your sincerity you have sent me thick-stemmed bamboo shoots of the moso variety as offerings to the Lotus Sutra here in the mountains. Surely you are sowing good seeds in a field of fortune. My tears never cease to flow when I think of it."

of Ordinary Beings

"There is no doubt that we possess the supreme life state of Buddhahood, and are noble and worthy of respect just as we are. At the same time, however, practise is essential to bring forth our Buddhahood and make it shine brightly.

"There is no doubt that we possess the supreme life state of Buddhahood, and are noble and worthy of respect just as we are. At the same time, however, practise is essential to bring forth our Buddhahood and make it shine brightly.
"Though we are inherently Buddhas—or, as the Daishonin states, 'the Buddha of the true aspect of reality' (OTT, 91) 16-that doesn't mean being content with our lives just as they are. If we become so complacent, we would be missing the opportunity for progress or self-improvement. The important thing is to make our lives shine their brightest in their own way."
