-- DAILY GOSHO --
"When I was in Kamakura, we could keep in very close contact, but now that I am living in a remote region, I have no opportunity to meet with you in person. The thoughts I have in my heart can only be conveyed by way of messengers and letters. It is sad, sad indeed! As for this year of danger that you face, trust in me. See whether the promises made in the Lotus Sutra by Shakyamuni, Many Treasures and the Buddhas of the ten directions, emanations of Shakyamuni, are trustworthy or not. Try putting your trust in them!"

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT 
"Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), often regarded as the founder of modern nursing, once encouraged her fellow nurses, telling them that they were being tested by the

hardships they faced, and it was up to them whether they won over them. She gladly embraced hardships, she said, because that is how we prove our worth."


Buddhism of the Sun, Difficulties Are Opportunities for Changing Our Karma, Daibyaku Renge June 2023, SGI Newsletter No. 11466, Feb. 9th 2024.
