-- DAILY GOSHO --

There should be no discrimination among those who propagate the five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo in the Latter Day of the Law, be they men or women. Were they not Bodhisattvas of the Earth, they could not chant the daimoku.

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"In order to preach this sutra 

we will bear these difficult things.

We care nothing for our bodies or lives

but are anxious [or carel only for the unsurpassed way. (LSOC13, 233)

"In other words, bodhisattvas endure all kinds of hardships because they value the unsurpassed

way above all.

"Regarding this passage, the Daishonin says the unsurpassed way refers to Nam-myoho-

renge-kyo (see OTT, 114). He highlights the importance of having a strong commitment to cherishing the Mystic Law, the fundamental Law of the universe, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo.

"The statements 'We care nothing for our bodies or lives' (LSOC13, 233) and 'never begrudging our bodies or lives' (LSOC13, 229) do not mean that we take our lives lightly. Rather, they stress how much we value and treasure the Law."
