22nd Nov. 2025 Saturday Daily Gosho + 23rd Nov. Sunday Daily Encouragement

* Our apologies for any misunderstandings to the spelling of NMRK! It is indeed "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" not Nag-myoho-renge-kyo."

Daily Gosho & Encouragement, both using the latest official translations, all quotes are either from Nichiren Daishonin or Ikeda Sensei unless otherwise stated...

-- DAILY GOSHO --
"Your illness is surely not due to karma, but even if it were, you could rely on the power of the Lotus Sutra to cure it. ... Be deeply convinced, then, that your illness cannot possibly persist, and that your life cannot fail to be extended! Take care of yourself, and do not burden your mind with grief."

"Nichiren Daishonin says: 'For those who have profound faith, it is as though a full moon were illuminating the night' (WND-1, 94). No matter how big your problems, you can make yourself shine as bright as the full moon by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. 

"…The moon appears in different shapes during the lunar cycle, sometimes showing only a half-circle or a slender crescent. Sometimes we can't see the moon at all, but the full moon

always returns. Together with the sun, the moon is constantly generating a rhythm of hope.

"Whatever happens, always remain bright and positive! Please advance vibrantly with the sun and serenely with the moon!"

The ninth instalment of the "You Are Proud Lion Cubs" series of Ikeda Sensei's encouragement was carried in the September 1st, 2024, issue of Hope News. The following is the English translation, published as SGI Newsletter, No. 11609, September 10th, 2024. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo Makes You Shine As Bright As the Full Moon
