-- DAILY GOSHO --
"'It is like the case of a person who falls to the ground, but who then pushes themselves up from the ground and rises to their feet again.' One who has fallen to the ground recovers and rises up from the ground. Those who slander the Lotus Sutra will fall to the ground of the three evil paths, or of the human and heavenly realms, but in the end, through the help of the Lotus Sutra, they will attain Buddhahood."

(The Proof of the Lotus Sutra
 - WND, Vol. 1, page 1108)

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
Nichiren Daishonin writes, "Therefore, the best way to attain Buddhahood is to encounter a good friend. How far can our own wisdom take us? If we have even enough wisdom to distinguish hot from cold, we should seek out a good friend" (WND-1, 598)."

The Basics of Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism for the New Era of Worldwide Kosen-rufu, Part 2, Chapter 7: The Mission and Practice of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, 2. Preceiving Evil and Protecting Good, 1. Good Friends in the Realm of Buddhism, translation released February 2029
