-- DAILY GOSHO --
A blue fly, if it clings to the tail of a thoroughbred horse, can travel ten thousand miles, and the green ivy that twines around the tall pine can grow to a thousand feet.

Correct Teaching for the

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---
"The Daishonin states that 'encouraging devotion' has two aspects: 'devotion' —or more literally, 'embracing the teaching' — referring to one's own practice, and 'encouraging,' referring to sharing Buddhist practice with others. In other words, the phrase reflects the bodhisattva spirit of seeking not only one's own happiness, but the happiness of others as
well. The Daishonin says we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as the teaching for both oneself and others."
