--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"In a letter to Shijo Kingo, the Daishonin advises his disciple to regard the new estates given to him by his lord, even if they are inferior to his previous ones, as 'excellent, excellent lands.'* The important thing, he is saying, is one's own mind or attitude.


"The Daishonin repeatedly makes the point that 'wherever we dwell and practice the single vehicle [Nam-myoho-renge-kyo], that place will be the Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light' (WND-1, 313). The key to building that Capital of Eternally Tranquil Light is the transformation of our minds, our mindsets, through our practice of the Mystic Law."

In "The Receipt of New Fiefs," the Daishonin writes: "No matter how poor these estates might be, avoid complaining of it, either to others or to your lord. If you say, 'They are excellent, excellent lands, your lord may add to your fiefs again" (WND-1,945)
