The writings of Nichiren Daishonin are
a brilliant light of hope for humanity!
They contain a truly profound philosophy
for leading an ever victorious life.
Even if it is only a line or two,
try to make the effort to read the Gosho daily!
By refreshing our spirits and minds each day,
let's gear up to advance!
"It is said that, if a teacher has a good disciple, both will gain the fruit of Buddhahood, but if a teacher fosters a bad disciple, both will fall into hell. If teacher and disciple are of different minds, they will never accomplish anything."
"When one person stands up based on the shared vow of mentor and disciple, two, three, and eventually a hundred like-minded people will follow. This is the eternal formula of kosen-rufu. As the Daishonin writes:
"At first only Nichiren chanted Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, but then two, three, and a hundred followed, chanting and teaching others. Propagation will unfold this way in the future as well. Does this not signify 'emerging from the earth'? (WND-1, 385)"
